Atlanta Georgia Cancer Misdiagnosis Attorneys

Diagnosing cancer involves evaluating a patient's symptoms, requesting certain tests, even performing certain exploratory procedures. Doctors who fail to see cancer on CAT scans, MRIs, X-rays, or during invasive procedures like colonoscopies can be held liable for failing to recognize cancers the tests reveal. Likewise, when blood tests indicate the presence of anemia or cancerous cells somewhere in the body, doctors who fail to perform further tests can also be held liable for negligence in diagnosing cancer. At the Olson Law Firm, our attorneys consult nationally recognized oncologists, cancer specialists and other medical experts in reviewing the actions of a doctor or radiologist. We expose mistakes and failures and hold those responsible financially liable.

Our firm carefully screens medical malpractices cases. If a doctor failed to diagnose cancer you or your loved one are suffering from, contact medical malpractice lawyers at the Olson Law Firm today.

• Cancer of the colon
• Breast cancer
• Prostate cancer
• Cancer of the esophagus
• Skin cancer
• Leukemia

Establishing Negligence on the Part of Doctors

Cancer misdiagnosis often involves a paper trail because doctors typically conduct certain kinds of tests in the face of certain symptoms. Colonoscopies, upper GIs, and any tests involving imagining will result in video footage or readable scans and x-rays. Our attorneys establish negligence in cancer misdiagnosis cases by reviewing the information and tests available to doctors in the first place.

Cancer Misdiagnosis and Damages

Since cancer misdiagnosis can result in additional medical treatment, shortened life span, and death, recovering damages usually goes beyond medical costs. Our attorneys work with economists in determining the financial impact on a family when cancer misdiagnosis takes away a spouse, young child, or parent. We project the value of lost earnings and pain and suffering and demand nothing less than a fair settlement or award for our clients.
