$1,500,000 settlement regarding failure to diagnose breast cancer and treatment delay

We recently settled a case against a radiologist and general practitioner for the failure to diagnose breast cancer. The case settled in the amount of $1,500,000. In this case, the radiologist failed to identify a potential tumor, leading to a delay in treatment. In addition, a subsequent CT scan also showed the tumor, but the patient’s primary doctor failed to take proper action, claiming that she had never seen the CT scan due to a failure in her medical office’s record-keeping.
