Delayed Diagnosis

An estimated 12% of U.S. cancer patients are misdiagnosed initially. And according to a U.S.government study, diagnosis delays and misdiagnosis result in “repeat testing, treatment delays, increased health-care costs, and patient anxiety.”

Misreading early cancer signs too often means patients must undergo more aggressive treatment, difficult surgeries, or organ removal. Often this means patients experience longer recovery times, lost income, and sadly, early death.

If you or a family member has been the victim of a wrong diagnosis or a delayed diagnosis, you need to talk with an attorney, especially one experienced in civil litigation, personal injury, and wrongful death claims.

In Florida, the attorney you want to consult is John R. Sutton, a Florida Board Certified Civil Lawyer. That certification, held by only 7% of Florida lawyers, means Sutton is highly respected by the legal community for the work he does. Sutton and his legal team are known for defending clients’ rights and fighting injustice in malpractice claims.
