An early and accurate diagnosis of ovarian cancer can make the difference between recovery and a spread of the disease leading to a tragic early death. While numerous advances have been made in detecting and treating this aggressive form of cancer, patients are still highly dependent on the knowledge and diligence of their doctors.
Was your ovarian cancer — or a loved one's — allowed to spread due to a doctor's failure to diagnose it? Was your family history of the disease overlooked by a primary care physician, or were you under regular medical care before receiving a diagnosis of Stage 4 or otherwise advanced ovarian cancer? At Smiley & Smiley, LLP, proven medical malpractice lawyers are prepared to evaluate and seriously consider your potential case.
In a 40-plus-year history, our Manhattan law firm has handled more than 1,000 medical malpractice cases. We continue to take valid lawsuits to trial in an age when these cases are more intensely contested than ever.
