Florida Missed Cancer Error Lawyers
When a patient complains to a doctor about symptoms and the doctor does not properly diagnose what those symptoms are caused by, it may be due to medical negligence. If a blood test or PSA test is not taken, the results are not communicated properly to the doctor or the patient, or the doctor fails to act based on elevated PSA results, it may be a case of misdiagnosis. Unfortunately, prostate cancer misdiagnosis will often lead to a lack of treatment and a worse prognosis for the patient.
If you believe that medical malpractice in the form of misdiagnosis has caused you to miss out on important treatment and has limited your recovery options, talk with us at the law firm of Fiol Law Group in Tampa. Do not be intimidated by your doctor and do not just accept whatever answer the doctor or hospital gives for missing a prostate cancer diagnosis. We can stand up for your rights and may be able to help you pursue the compensation that you deserve.

After a blood test is taken, the results should be communicated to the doctor, and equally as important, to the patient. If PSA levels are elevated and a biopsy is performed promptly, the chances of curing the cancer are much higher and mortality rates are much lower. When doctors fail to perform tests, read results wrong or do nothing about high PSA levels, the doctor has failed to provide an acceptable standard of treatment.
Medical malpractice cases, including those involving the misdiagnosis of prostate cancer, are complicated, and it is important to speak with a lawyer about your options. Contact us at Fiol Law Group and get your questions answered at a free consultation at 866-921-7560.
