Delayed Melanoma Diagnosis Results in Untimely Death: Lawyers File Medical Malpractice Lawsuit
July 13, 2007Rapoport Law Office attorneys have filed a medical malpractice lawsuit on behalf of the daughter of a 59 year old man who died as a result of metastatic malignant melanoma. At issue, is the care and treatment provided by a Lake County Illinois internist and dermatologist which resulted in delayed cancer diagnosis too advanced for the man's life to be saved. The lawsuit alleges that had the doctor complied with the standard of care, instead of violating it, the melanoma would have been diagnosed when the chances of successful treatment were much better.
