Every Cancer Misdiagnosis claim must have three elements present:

Make sure your medical malpractice attorney has the experience to prepare a case that includes every element needed for a successful settlement or jury award. First, your attorney must prove that the doctor, clinic, or hospital preformed in a negligent manner when diagnosing and treating your form of cancer. Negligence for misdiagnosis is generally defined as not following the accepted standard of care, as measured against the standards of the community.

Your lawyer will also need to show actual damages or harm caused by the misdiagnosis or failure to properly diagnose cancer in a timely manner. A delayed diagnosis doesn't necessarily mean that your cancer would have been any more treatable than if you had learned about it earlier.

Finally, you must be able to show that a definite link existed between the misdiagnosis and the harm it caused. If your attorney can show that a delay in making a proper diagnosis caused increased suffering and extended treatment, you may have a legitimate claim for compensation
