Philadelphia Failure to Diagnose Attorneys
Misdiagnosis | Failure to Diagnose | Cancer | Heart Disease | Serious Medical Problems
It happens much too often. You seek a medical opinion because you aren’t feeling well. Your doctor either discounts your symptoms or tells you that “it should clear up.” Time passes and your discomfort only increases. You finally go in for some testing, only to learn that you have cancer, heart disease or some other serious medical condition. Your cancer may even have spread to other organs. The unfortunate reality is that, had it been caught early, you would probably have been able to overcome it.
When you or a loved one suffers needless injury or illness because of a doctor’s failure to diagnose a condition or because of a misdiagnosis, you want an experienced Philadelphia personal injury lawyer to help you seek full and fair compensation for all your losses.
