Failures to Diagnose Liver Cancer
Even with an early diagnosis, the five-year survival rate for liver cancer may only be 30 to 60 percent. Even so, this is better than the almost nonexistent chance that may result from a physician's or health care provider's misdiagnosis of the disease.
In New York State, 24 other states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico, victims of this type of medical malpractice have legal recourse. In these "loss of a chance" jurisdictions, any significantly poorer prognosis or treatment options that result from the delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis of liver cancer are considered legally compensable injuries.
If you have been harmed as the result of a liver cancer misdiagnosis in any of these jurisdictions, call or contact the experienced lawyers at the New York State law firm of Powers & Santola, LLP, to learn more about your rights and how we can protect your interests.
