Failures to Diagnose Childhood Cancers
In a perfect world, the words "cancer" and "children" would never appear together in the same sentence, not even in the same paragraph. Not once. Not ever. But the real world is far from perfect.
Leukemia is the most common type of cancer seen in children, followed closely by cancers of the brain and nervous system and then by a litany of rarer but still potentially deadly diseases. The good news is that about three-fourths of all cancers in children are curable if diagnosed early enough and treatment is managed properly.
If your child has a significantly poorer prognosis or has been forced to undergo a harsher cancer treatment regimen as the result of a doctor's missed diagnosis, call or contact the experienced attorneys at the New York State law firm of Powers & Santola, LLP, to learn more about your rights and legal options today.
Excellence in the Fight for Justice
Our firm has earned its reputation for excellence among clients, peers and opponents alike by refusing to take too many clients or to accept cases without substantial merit. Instead, we commit ourselves only to those cancer misdiagnosis cases where we feel we can make a significant difference in the lives of children with cancer and their families.
As part of that commitment, we assign a team of two lawyers and two support staff members to work with each client. This ensures thorough preparation and allows us to have someone who personally knows your child's case available to answer your questions or address any concerns that you have whenever they might arise.
