What types of delay in diagnosis cases does attorney Jonathan C. Reiter handle?

Delay in diagnosis cases in New York cover a wide range. Some of the most common delay in diagnosis cases we handle in Manhattan and other boroughs in New York involve:

  • Failing to treat patients in a timely manner, especially in emergency rooms
  • Failing to conduct routine medical tests
  • Failing to correctly read medical tests, lab work or X-rays

Many delay-in-diagnosing claims involve doctors who fail to diagnose cancer in a timely manner. An illness that is left untreated for a few weeks or months can have serious consequences. Doctors who fail to diagnose cancer in a timely manner must be held accountable. Our work as attorneys is about sending a message, loud and clear, that substandard medical treatment will not be tolerated in New York.

Why should I hire a lawyer to handle my delay in diagnosis case?

Many delay-in-diagnosis cases in New York can be extremely complex. That’s because many of these cases involve large hospitals in Manhattan and other boroughs in New York City. Waging a legal battle against these hospitals and their insurance companies can be very complicated.

That’s why it’s critical you have an experienced New York medical misdiagnosis lawyer on your side. We know how to investigate these cases. We have access to qualified medical experts whose knowledge and experience can make a dramatic difference.
