Can I file a medical malpractice case in Michigan if my doctor failed to diagnose cancer at an early stage? The misdiagnosis of cancer has caused me to undergo radiation treatment that would not have been necessary if a proper diagnosis was made earlier.

A: In order to file a case for failure to diagnose cancer, it must be proven through medical testimony that the delay in treatment has affected your outcome, your life expectancy, or your ability to receive less radical treatment.  These cases present many challenging medical and legal issues but victims of this type of medical malpractice should contact a lawyer at our office to  immediately to investigate their case.
