Call (888) 831-8448 If You Suffered from a Misdiagnosis in California

Unfortunately, misdiagnosis is one of the most common medical mistakes. Most medical conditions are treated more effectively if they are diagnosed as early as possible. If a doctor misses the warning signs and symptoms, the consequences can be devastating to a patient. Additionally, if a doctor diagnoses an illness and prescribes treatment only to learn that the patient does not actually have that condition, it is possible that serious damage to one's health can occur.

If you or someone you love has been misdiagnosed, do not hesitate to speak with a San Francisco misdiagnosis lawyer from our firm right away. Victims of misdiagnosis often face additional medical costs, lost income, and preventable treatment for serious, life-threatening symptoms. You and your family do not have to beat this burden alone. Bostwick & Peterson understands what you are going through, and we may be able to assist you in seeking full compensation.

Why It's Important to Choose the Right Attorney

Doctors and hospitals are protected by enormous insurance companies with teams of legal staff and agents that will attempt to settle the matter as cheaply as possible. While the doctors, hospital and insurance company will aggressively protect their own interests, make sure that you have a hard-hitting lawyer to aggressively protect your rights and interests.

Did Your Doctor Misdiagnose Cancer?

While we all worry about our health and serious issues such as heart disease or diabetes, there is no disease more frightening than cancer.

While science has made dramatic improvements in treating cancer, it is the second leading cause of death in the U.S. If a doctor fails to diagnose cancer, the consequences can be devastating. If either you or a member of your family has been diagnosed with cancer after it was initially missed by a doctor, you should speak with our firm as soon as possible to determine your legal options.
