Ohio Attorneys Handling Cervical Cancer Misdiagnosis Cases
Cervical cancer is easily diagnosed at the treatable stage by using a Pap test. This test indicates the presence of abnormal cells suggestive of cancer of the cervix. Despite the existence of the Pap test, thousands of women die every year due to invasive cervical cancer. Almost all these deaths could have been prevented if the medical provider had followed accepted protocols.
Contact us if your cervical cancer was misdiagnosed or you lost a loved one because of this type of physician negligence.
Early detection of cervical cancer can make a huge difference. We help people get answers as to whether someone made the decision to fail to properly examine and read medical results that should have told them the patient had cancer. When medical evidence shows that they endangered their patients ("violated the standard of care"), we hold them and their insurance companies (which usually run the defense and foot the bill) accountable. That helps improve the system for everyone.

Sources of Misdiagnosed Cervical Cancer
Cervical cancer goes undiagnosed when a medical provider:
- Fails to perform a Pap test at the recommended interval
- Misreads the results of a Pap test
- Fails to perform a follow-up test when the initial test reveals abnormal cells
- Fails to order a biopsy after multiple abnormal Pap tests
Experienced, Sophisticated, Reputable
Spangenberg Shibley & Liber is recognized as one of the pre-eminent medical malpractice law firms in Ohio. We are one of the first civil litigation firms to take on individual and mass tort cases that have had a lasting impact on how negligence laws have been shaped over the past several decades.
If your cervical cancer was misdiagnosed and your cancer went undetected, you may be able to file a lawsuit. At our Cleveland law firm, we have been representing victims of medical malpractice for more than 65 years. We are caring and compassionate lawyers who seek the best possible outcomes for our clients suffering as the result of undiagnosed cervical cancer.
Contact us if your cervical cancer was undiagnosed or you lost a loved one because of this type of physician negligence.
We consult with a wide range of medical specialists who help us understand the specifics of your case and identify the source of the medical negligence. These experts include gynecologists, surgeons, laboratory experts and others who add value to a client's case. Our Ohio lawyers use the information and insight provided by these experts to build strong arguments in pursuit of a positive legal outcome.
Because we prepare these cases so thoroughly, the other side often makes a fair settlement offer. The opposition lawyers do not want to risk exposure to even more expense at trial. However, when the other side — usually the medical malpractice insurer's attorneys — fails to make an appropriate offer, we proceed to trial. We are especially effective with juries and have won numerous verdicts for victims of a failure to diagnose.
