When doctors fail to diagnose illnesses or mistake the symptoms of one illness for another, they put patients at great risk for serious, adverse conditions. Just ask a diagnosing error lawyer at the Law Offices of Mark E. Salomone in Massachusetts or the Law Offices of Mark E. Salomone & Morelli in Connecticut. They can tell you that these types of errors in judgment can lead to patients not receiving timely treatment.

Failure to Diagnose Cancer Calls for an Experienced Attorney
The odds of beating cancer are much better when the disease is diagnosed in the early stages. Cancer can spread if it goes undetected, reducing a patient's chances of survival. This is why it's crucial for doctors to identify cancer promptly.
