Failure to Identify Cancer
on a Mammogram
PRE-TRIAL SETTLEMENT
$500,000.00
New York State Supreme Court
Plaintiff, 50 years of age, with family history of breast Cancer, went for yearly mammograms, the last of which was improperly read, failing to identify cancer.
This
resulted in many months of delay of proper treatment increasing probability of cancer recurrence and/or death.
This
caused the Plaintiff severe emotional upset.
We reviewed mammograms with our radiology medical experts showing cancerous tumors which should have been identified. We also reviewed National Institute of Health calculations of cancer recurrence and mortality drawn from over 10,000 similar cases.
