$1.4 Million for Misdiagnosis of Breast Cancer in Bronx County
N/AOUTCOME: $1.4 Million
Our client went to her gynecologist after finding a lump in her breast. The gynecologist ordered a mammogram to investigate. The radiologist performed both a mammogram and a sonogram. Our cl ... ient was told that the lump was nothing more than a cyst. The radiologist recommended follow-up in a year. Our client returned one year later. This time the radiologist reported findings that were suspicious for cancer on the mammogram. A biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of advanced breast cancer. We proved that the radiologist misread the initial mammogram and sonogram. Chances of survival and treatment options were lost. The radiologist paid $1.4 million in compensation.
