Can I sue in New York if my cancer diagnosis was delayed?

A delay in diagnosis in cancer is often the basis of a cancer medical malpractice lawsuit but there are two very significant elements to a medical malpractice case. One is that the doctor missed the boat, so to speak. The other element is that it made a difference, that it had an impact on the patient's course. So if a patient goes to Doctor A on one day and he doesn't pick up the cancer but goes to another doctor the next day and it's very obvious, there's really no damage that results from it. And it's the damage that's the controlling factor. I'm Steven North. I specialize in medical malpractice litigation. My office is located in a townhouse in the upper east side of Manhattan.

Can I sue in New York if my cancer diagnosis was delayed?

In New York, if there's a delay in diagnosing your cancer a viable lawsuit will lie if you suffered damage as a result of that delay. By that I mean if the doctors have more difficulty treating it or it's less amenable to treatment, then you have suffered a damage and a viable lawsuit does lie.

What types of cancers are most often misdiagnosed?

The most frequent cancers that are the subject of medical malpractice involve women who have breast cancer, when they're having various studies done of their breasts and the doctors are always encouraging that we have mammograms and the like. And the mammograms are not read properly or in the general public when there's complaints concerning the stomach and Colonoscopies should be preformed and aren't performed on a timely basis. Those can give rise to medical malpractice. Hi, my name is Arthur Blitz of Shandell, Blitz, Blitz and Ashley.
