San Francisco Area Medical Malpractice Lawyers
There are few things in life that are more challenging than a diagnosis of cancer. However, as medicine has continued to advance, the chances for obtaining effective treatment for most forms of cancer have improved. The key is often an early diagnosis. Attorneys Cliff Weingus and Jeffrey A. Haas understand what a difference early detection can mean, and why a failure to earlier diagnose cancer may lead to a valid medical malpractice claim.

The failure to diagnose cancer can happen for a number of reasons, such as a misread mammogram, the failure to perform appropriate tests, or simply not listening to the patient's complaints. It could be a misread mammogram, or it could be your doctor failing to respond to your complaints and not performing any tests at all. If the signs of cancer were there and your doctor failed to recognize them, you may have a medical malpractice claim.
Focused on medical malpractice, Cliff Weingus and Jeffrey Haas understand your rights and the responsibilities of your doctors. Before accepting your case, we will need to be satisfied that the doctor's conduct fell below the standard of care (i.e. was malpractice), and that failure to act sooner has caused you injury. If we accept your case, we will work with medical experts and start fighting to help you obtain fair compensation. We represent clients based on the failure to timely diagnose all types of cancer, including:
- Colon cancer
- Prostate cancer
- Lung cancer
- Thyroid cancer
- Skin cancer and melanoma
- Breast cancer
- Mesothelioma
- Ovarian cancer
- Cervical cancer
A misdiagnosis can be just as costly as the failure to diagnose at all. Whether your doctor failed to assess the correct type of cancer, or you were diagnosed with something else entirely, misdiagnosis can also be considered medical malpractice.
