Lost Time Can Equal Cancer Malpractice Under New Jersey Law

Under New Jersey medical malpractice laws, healthcare providers can be held responsible for failure to provide appropriate treatment.  In cancer malpractice cases, you must be able to show:

• A duty of care existed, such as in a doctor-patient relationship,
• The medical professional failed to provide treatment that was in line with the standard of the medical community, based on the circumstances and the doctor’s training,
• Breach of that standard of care caused you to suffer harm.

It’s common knowledge that the sooner cancer is detected and treated, the better your odds for a full recovery.  Stage I cancer is far more easy to treat than Stage IV cancer. When a doctor, lab technician or medical professional makes a mistake that costs you time, you may be entitled to compensation for the resulting harm.

Cancer malpractice generally occurs because of:

• Cancer misdiagnosis.  In these cases, your doctor might diagnose the wrong type of cancer or think that you don’t have cancer at all.
• Delayed cancer diagnosis.  In delayed cancer diagnosis cases, your doctor fails to realize that you have cancer at all, therefore causing you to lose valuable treatment time.

Examples of scenarios that may give rise to a valid claim for cancer malpractice include:

• Your doctor failed to run the proper tests to diagnose the cancer,
• Your doctor misread the test results,
• Someone at the lab ran the wrong test or mixed up the test results,
• A doctor or nurse failed to take an adequate patient history to properly evaluate your risk for developing cancer,
• Your doctor failed to notice known symptoms of cancer,
• Failure to provide the appropriate treatment based on your cancer diagnosis.

At Team Law, we approach each case by getting to know our client as a person.  In our office, you are more than just a case number on a file. And by learning about your experiences and how your cancer has impacted your life and family, we can provide the level of skilled and compassionate advocacy that gets results for our clients.

Our New Jersey Lawyers Understand the Serious Consequences of Cancer Malpractice

At Team Law, our medical negligence lawyers are not only knowledgeable about the law, but we understand the serious consequences you may be facing as a victim of cancer malpractice.  Delays in diagnosis, or misdiagnosis, can result in:

• Unnecessary surgeries, including mastectomy, hysterectomy, lumpectomy surgeries,
• Trauma to your body because of the increased need for chemotherapy or radiation that may not have been needed had your cancer been properly detected and treated early,
• Shortened lifespan because of failure to provide treatment before the cancer grew or spread.

The more invasive your cancer treatment, the more likely you are to suffer adverse side effects. When you’ve already lost time because of cancer malpractice, the odds that you will need a more aggressive treatment plan increase substantially.

If you believe you have been the victim of medical negligence, call us for a free consultation as soon as possible.  The sooner our cancer malpractice lawyers can get to work in investigating your case, the greater our chance of success.  We have experience representing clients who have suffered cancer malpractice relating to:
