Some cancers can and should be discovered early before they have a chance to grow or metastasize. Many governing medical bodies, including the American Cancer Society, publish guidelines for doctors to screen for these cancers.
Early detection is crucial for increasing survival rates. Unfortunately, delays in diagnosis can have severe consequences. If you or a loved one has experienced a late or delayed cancer diagnosis, you may be entitled to compensation. Call us at 833-888-LATE for a free case evaluation or contact us through our website.
Misdiagnosis can lead to inappropriate treatments and further complications. Our experienced team can help you navigate the legal process if you've been affected by a cancer misdiagnosis.
The screening tests are designed to detect cancer early and increase survival rates. Proper screening greatly increases the chances of detecting these cancers early, when they can be cured. Learn more about these types of cancers and the tests your doctors should order to detect them early:
Doctors routinely fail to properly interpret test results and often fail to respond in a timely fashion to their patients’ complaints of abnormal signs and symptoms with all different types of cancers. If you were told a test was normal, only to find out months or years later that it was actually abnormal, or if you were complaining of concerning signs and symptoms long before you were finally diagnosed, you may be entitled to compensation for your delayed cancer diagnosis.

My cancer diagnosis hit our family hard. Finding out that I was misdiagned made matters worse. Contacting Porter Law Group was my saving grace. From the start, Mike was at my side reassuring me that he would be there for support and guidance. I felt like family. The firm worked hard for my case and was very successful without going to court. I wouldn't have wanted any other team on my side besides Porter Law! Very professional, friendly and very highly regarded in the legal community. Top notch group.
I give my highest possible recommendation to Mike Porter. Through no fault of my own, I was seriously injured in a high-speed car accident one morning on the way to work. Soon after I was diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury. While the physical impacts were extensive, my everyday ability to function both on the job and at home was no longer the same. The overall impacts of this injury cut short many years of professional and academic experience, and my career was derailed. I will never forget Mike’s personal attention, persistence and professionalism as he guided me through a long process of medical rehabilitation and financial uncertainty. In short, his work provided long-term security for my wife and two daughters. I cannot thank him enough for his help during my time of need.
I was in a bad car accident a few years ago (through no fault of my own). I suffered severe injuries and lost my job as a result. I hired the Porter Law Group to represent my husband and me in a lawsuit against the driver who hit my car. Mike Porter and Eric Nordby (and their legal assistant, Ana) did a wonderful job for us, and they secured a very sizeable settlement for us before we had to go through a trial. Everyone at Porter Law Group was very friendly, answered all of our questions, and treated us like family. My husband and I cannot speak more highly of this firm, and all they did for us to get us back on our feet. We are so fortunate to have had them and now we know if we need any legal assistance in the future, we can always count on them.
Best in Syracuse! Experience. Knowledge. Professionalism. Compassion. Success.
