A failure to diagnose cancer, heavy metal poisoning, asthma, heart attack, or a neurological condition can lead to serious medical complications and even death. Typically, when certain symptoms present themselves, doctors following standard treatment protocols conduct various blood, imaging, or physical tests. Failure to order diagnostic tests can result in a delay in the diagnosis of cancer and other diseases. Failure to detect cancer at an early stage and the resulting delay in medical treatment may decrease a patient's quality of life or lead to premature death.

At the Orlando law office of Jacobs & Goodman, our lawyers have significant experience in medical malpractice cases. We consult medical experts in investigating a late diagnosis case. We review medical records, interview eyewitnesses, and identify medical mistakes that can lead to late diagnoses of cancer and other serious illnesses.

The Orlando medical malpractice attorneys at Jacobs & Goodman, P.A. provide quality representation and superior service to victims and families throughout Orlando and Central Florida who have suffered injury or death due to a misdiagnosis, failure to diagnose, or delayed medical treatment.
