Medical Malpractice from Failure to Investigate
Duffy & Duffy secured a $1,250,000 settlement on behalf of a family when physicians failed to properly investigate a suspicious right breast lump reported by the patient. Physicians did not perform a complete differential diagnosis, and did not refer her for additional testing and consultations. While physicians later identified breast cancer, it was too late as the patient passed away due to a heart attack, stemming from the cancer.
