Washington D.C. Cancer Misdiagnosis Lawyer

One of the most frequently made medical mistakes is the misdiagnosis of, or the complete failure to diagnose, a serious medical condition. Such errors can deprive patients of important medical treatment, which may no longer be available if the condition progresses. In particular, cancer misdiagnosis often happens when a doctor fails to give the proper care to a patient. Failing to order diagnostic tests or make the proper referrals could delay a cancer diagnosis by months or, in extreme cases, even years. If you or somebody you love was wrongly diagnosed with cancer, or if a doctor neglected to diagnose the disease altogether, it is important to speak with a cancer misdiagnosis lawyer as soon as possible. You may be entitled to compensation and strict statute of limitation laws in the District limit the time you have to file a claim. Contact Trombly & Singer, PLLC.
