Delayed Diagnosis

Albuquerque Delayed Diagnosis Lawyers

When diagnosed in a timely manner, the prognosis is generally optimistic for patients who have cancer and other medical conditions. When a patient is given a delayed diagnosis, the prognosis is generally not as positive. A doctor's failure to diagnose cancer or other illness can have a devastating impact on entire families. At Salazar & Sullivan, we provide compassionate, effective, and active legal help to people who have been injured by a delayed diagnosis.

Failure to diagnose cancer

Sadly, there are a variety of reasons for a doctor's failure to diagnose cancer. He or she may not have taken a patient's complaints seriously, may not have ordered the correct tests, or have otherwise not responded appropriately. Our firm helps people and their families who have been affected by a delayed diagnosis of cancers such as the following:

• Breast cancer
• Lung cancer
• Skin cancer
• Colon cancer

Delayed diagnosis is not limited to cancer diagnoses. Errors can even occur in the emergency room that result in a patient being sent home or misdiagnosed. Our firm also helps people who have received a misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of illnesses and conditions such as the following.

• Infections
• Meningitis
• Appendicitis
• Heart attack
• Stroke
• Blood clots
• Deep vein thrombosis
