Illinois Cancer Misdiagnosis Attorneys
Good doctors do more than just respond to medical emergencies. They provide patients with important preventative care, spotting medical problems early and providing solutions. If your doctor failed to diagnose your disease or condition, you may have been the victim of medical malpractice.
At Clancy Law, our Chicago failure to diagnose attorneys can evaluate your case, so you get the proper medical care you need and financial compensation you deserve. With more than 75 years of experience helping Illinois personal injury victims, we have the resources to conduct a thorough investigation and protect your rights.
Doctors make mistakes. Just because your physician did not diagnose your illness immediately does not automatically mean you have a medical malpractice claim. Contact us today, and our lawyers can look at your case and help you evaluate your options.
Establishing Medical Malpractice
In order to prove that your doctor's misdiagnosis was an example of medical malpractice, you have to prove two things. First, you have to show that the health care provider made a significant medical mistake. Second, you have to show that you would have had a different, better medical result if you had been treated correctly.
Doctors are expected to meet a basic standard of care. Working with you and gathering your medical records, we will establish that your physician did not meet the standard level of care for someone in your condition.
The failure to recognize the symptoms of any condition can be life altering or even fatal. If a patient exhibits the symptoms of someone at risk for a stroke, there are simple things that can be done to prevent possible problems. But without this diagnosis, patients end up in worse shape and at greater risk. We represent people who have been the victims of misdiagnosis for a number of diseases and conditions, including:
- Heart attack
- Stroke
- Colon cancer
- Breast cancer
