Failure To Diagnose Breast Cancer – $1,000,000 Settlement

When our 54-year-old client from Newburgh noticed a lump in one of her breasts, she immediately went to her doctor who sent her for both a mammogram and an ultrasound. After the tests she was told it was not cancer. Four months later, after the lump seemed to increase, she returned and underwent another set of tests. This time she was told she had stage III breast cancer. The radiologist was sued for failing to diagnose the cancer. The case was settled for the full $1,000,000 policy. The case was handled by Managing Partner Andrew Finkelstein with co-counsel.
