Cancer Diagnostic Errors Lead to Medical Malpractice Claims
As mentioned in our recent Patient Safety Blog post, cancer diagnosis delays are unfortunately too common in our healthcare system. Lubin & Meyer's attorneys have tried many cases of cancer diagnostic errors over the years. We archive many of the trial reports of our verdicts and settlements that provide a wealth of details of such cases.
On our main website, you can search our Verdicts and Settlements Archive by type of medical injury, or view a listing of our medical malpractice cases involving cancer. (Please note, this is not a complete listing.)
Last month we added three new trial reports to our website — all cancer diagnosis related. They are:
$6.8 Million Judgment: Kidney Cancer Diagnosis Delay
This lawsuit claimed that a urine sample showing blood in the urine required referral to a urologist, which would have resulted in a proper workup that would have diagnosed the decedent’s cancer at an earlier stage.
$1.5 Million Settlement: Delay in Diagnosis of Lung Cancer
Medical malpractice action claims PCP’s failure to address cough and order chest x-ray leads to delay in lung cancer diagnosis.
$2.5 Million Settlement: Failure to Diagnose Cancer in Appendix
This lawsuit claims the pathologist who evaluated appendix after removal was negligent in failing to identify the cancer and note it in her report.
