Learning that you had a serious illness — a progressive or fatal illness at that — was no doubt a terrible shock. You have perhaps struggled courageously to come to terms with this cruel twist of fate.
Worse, however, is the realization, or at least suspicion, that a health care professional failed you. Your doctor, a nurse, a technician, emergency room personnel or a diagnostic laboratory apparently let you down. You face enormous challenges because of a physician's failure to diagnose cancer or a related medical mistake. And now you wonder what your legal options are.
Is a negligent physician legally responsible after a failure to diagnose cancer in a timely manner? Who will pay for your chemotherapy treatments, compensate you for Bergen County misdiagnosis negligence? Who will reimburse expenses incurred going to medical appointments, replace your lost wages, and account for your and your family's losses?
A medical malpractice claim or lawsuit may be viable if you and your attorney can clearly demonstrate negligence on the part of doctors or lab technicians whose medical mistakes are having disastrous consequences in your life.
Perhaps you have learned that you have breast cancer, colon cancer, lung cancer, leukemia or mesothelioma. You had previously reported your symptoms and perhaps had undergone tests. Your health care providers dismissed your complaints or failed to follow up on test results. You want to know how and why the failure to diagnose cancer happened. Now you need compensation to cover your medical bills. You desire acknowledgement of your pain and suffering. You worry about overwhelming financial needs that your immediate family will have to deal with throughout your treatment: surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and perhaps hospice care.
