Failure to Diagnose Lung Cancer
Some of the more common underlying causes for the misdiagnosis of lung cancer as something else or even as nothing at all include failing to perform the correct tests, failing to interpret test results correctly, failing to take a thorough medical history from the patient or even simply failing to recognize clear symptoms of lung cancer for what they are.
In any case, it is important for you to know that a significantly worse prognosis caused by a failure to diagnose lung cancer or mesothelioma is recognized as a legally compensable injury in New York, 24 other states the District of Columbia and the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico. Whether you are suffering from lung cancer caused by smoking or mesothelioma that resulted from asbestos exposure, you have every right to expect a timely and correct diagnosis.
