In making a diagnosis, a doctor's first duty is to rule out the most serious or life-threatening possibilities. A diligent physician follows specific procedures to correctly identify the problem in a timely manner. When doctors or support staff ignore patient complaints, take shortcuts, or fail to follow through on testing, patients may suffer irreversible harm or death.

We have the experience and resources to hold physicians and hospitals accountable for lasting disability, economic harm, and the profound personal impact. We handle medical negligence cases throughout New York City, including Staten Island, Long Island, and Westchester County.

Joseph Sullivan recently settled a case of delayed diagnosis of cancer against a Brooklyn dermatologist, recovering $350,000 on behalf of a woman who sought help for a suspicious mole on her face. She was incorrectly informed that her biopsy was normal when in fact it revealed skin cancer. Fortunately, she found another doctor who correctly diagnosed the carcinoma. Though the cancer was removed before it spread, the surgery left visible scars on her forehead that would have been avoided had the cancer been identified and treated at the earlier stage.
The failure to diagnose cancer or other serious medical conditions leads to thousands of unnecessary injuries and deaths. Sullivan & Brill, LLP stands ready to fight for your rightful compensation if this happened to you or a loved one. We understand the financial and emotional hardship that this type of situation can have on you and your family.
