Doctors do not cause prostate cancer, but they are responsible for the resulting harm when they ignore early warning signs. Routine screening for prostate cancer, including regular checkups and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing, is promoted by medical organizations because it leads to early diagnosis and treatment.
Failure to diagnose prostate cancer may constitute grounds for a medical malpractice lawsuit. Did the doctor miss warning signs or dismiss an abnormal PSA? Would earlier treatment have changed the outcome and cured the patient? We have done more prostate cancer cases than probably any other law firm in the state and know the medical literature and leading experts in the state. At the Law Offices of Reed Schifferman, we help clients find the truth.
We have a proven track record in these cases. Having won a $4.5 million verdict in a failure to diagnose prostate cancer case and negotiating even larger settlements for similar clients, we have helped families hold negligent physicians accountable for the damage and loss they caused.
