Did a Doctor Misdiagnose or Fail to Diagnose Your Lung Cancer?

The medical malpractice attorneys at Gair, Gair, Conason, Rubinowitz, Bloom Hershenhorn, Steigman & Mackauf have an in-depth experience helping victims of lung cancer misdiagnosis and their families getting the compensation they deserve. They have been a leading force behind the enactment of the Lavern's Law that expands the statute of limitation from the date when the victim discovers that the cancer was misdiagnosed instead of the date of the alleged misdiagnosis.

What Should I Consider When Choosing a Lung Cancer Misdiagnosis Attorney?

When looking for a lung cancer misdiagnosis attorney you want to make sure that your attorney is highly experienced in handling such cases and work with a team that includes 2 board-certified physicians that can assist in evaluating your case and help you to understand the full medical scope of your claim. Our attorneys conduct in-depth investigations and they retain highly qualified experts to prosecute your case. When a doctor fails to diagnose lung cancer, we work with a practicing lung cancer specialist to find out the full circumstances of the misdiagnosis. If your chest x-ray was misread, an expert radiologist will examine the films.

How Much Is My Lung Cancer Misdiagnosis Worth?

Every lung cancer misdiagnosis case is different and has its own set of associated losses including pain and suffering, lost wages, the cost of care and many other monetary costs. In order to accurately assess what these costs will be for the remainder of a victim’s life, we use expert economists and financial analysts to derive fair resolutions for victims of cancer misdiagnosis.

Can I Sue a Doctor for Lung Cancer Misdiagnosis?

If a delay in diagnosing your lung cancer worsens the treatment or prognosis or if a loved one died as a result of a lung cancer misdiagnosis you might be entitled to compensation. Early detection is key to successfully fighting lung cancer. Lung cancer symptoms can share the characteristics of other conditions, so proper testing by doctors is essential. Tests such as chest x-rays, bronchoscopy, needle aspiration and thoracentesis are commonly used by the medical profession to detect lung cancer. Many times doctors fail to even order these crucial tests. There are also situations where the proper tests are ordered, but the radiologist misreads the film or the pathologist misreads the slide, leading to a crucial delay in making the diagnosis.

If your lung cancer went undiagnosed by a doctor or was misdiagnosed, please contact our firm to discuss your case.

Jamie Russell My name is Karen and I obtained the services of Gair, Gair, Conason after going through one of the hardest times in my life. I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Lung Cancer after the doctors neglected to tell me a year prior that I even had a "small" mass on lungs and within a year it grew. I ended up needing surgery, chemo and radiation. The compassion and professionalism that Diana Carnemolla and Howard Hershenhorn showed me was incredible. They worked so hard over the past 4 years to make sure that there was justice for what happened. I thank both Diana and Howard from the bottom of my heart for all they have done for me!!

"Everyone I communicated with at this firm made me feel like I was part of their family. My needs, feelings, and concerns were carefully considered and given the needed attention. My counselors were available whenever I needed them and became my personal friends. They came highly recommended and lived up to their reputation. I would recommend them to any of my friends without hesitation. This firm gives attorneys a "good name". Clients matter here. They made me feel like I mattered as a person, that I was valued, and not just a possible source of income for the firm. They earned their fees, and you will find that they will also earn your trust." N.W.

I met Diana Carnemolla and Howard S. Hershenhorn during the darkest time of our lives, when my husband was in a coma with very little chances to survive, due to a car accident. The compassion and professionalism that they showed myself and my family during such a difficult time combined with an incredible willingness to get the best results for us have shown us that we had made the absolute best choice. They not only fought extremely hard for what proved to be a very difficult case, but they also emotionally helped us through this incredible ordeal and have been a caring advocate for our family and our case. They got us the best results we could have expected given the circumstances and didn't give up when things got more challenging. We would absolutely recommend their Law Firm to handle the toughest of cases while providing such a great deal of personal support. Diana proved to be personally invested in our case ultimately seeking the best outcome for our family. We cannot thank them enough for what they have done for us. V.P.

"I’m very impressed by the professional services of this law firm Gair Gair Conason. Most importantly Diana M.A. Carnemolla, Esq. She performed impeccable work ethics and professionalism whole time throughout, with her constant follow ups and communication skills, for that I’m very appreciative of. August 2020, my mother was in a horrific car accident. I contacted Gair Gair Conason to handle my mother's case. Everyone at the firm who helped us with the case did such a fantastic job with being so efficient. We could not have been more satisfied with the services we received. Diana M.A. Carnemolla, Esq. was so fast, quick answer for every question that we asked and gave us honest information about the possibilities concerning the case. She resolved our case much faster that I would expect. Thank you so much! I am very happy with this law firm. Especially the outcome from it all and how easy they helped make it be for us. We had a tough case to fight regarding the incident with the other driver, thankfully it all worked out in my mothers best interest. Diana M.A. Carnemolla helped us settle our case easily, helped us get out of it with a much needed win. I’m surprised it wasn’t as bad of experience as I thought it would be. We were pretty worried in the beginning with much thanks to this team they’ve helped solve this for my mother and put much of my worries as well as my mothers to ease. Thank you again from my family to your whole team for an awesome job!! I would highly recommend this law office to anyone in need of outstanding representation." K.C.
