When abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in your lungs, this can lead to the formation of tumors that both interfere with the normal function of your lungs and potentially spread to other parts of your body. Prompt treatment is essential to try to reduce the long-term harm or risk of death from lung cancer.
Unfortunately, lung cancer is often misdiagnosed by medical professionals who are supposed to protect you and care for you. When this happens, the consequences could be dire, as you could lose your chance to effectively treat your disease.

Who is responsible for a lung cancer misdiagnosis?
When you are misdiagnosed with lung cancer, your condition can progress. Your cancer can grow and spread, and the chances of effectively treating the disease decline considerably.
If this happens to you or someone you love, it’s important to identify defendants who could be held liable for your losses. Gill Ports Hoste LLC can help you file a claim after misdiagnosis in Chicago and review your medical records to identify those who could be liable, including:
- Doctors who fail to recognize symptoms of lung cancer or who fail to perform the proper diagnostic tests
- Hospitals and clinics that employ negligent medical professionals who provide a level of care that falls below the acceptable professional standard
- Hospitals and care facilities with negligent policies and practices that result in substandard care and a delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis of lung cancer
- Radiologists who don’t properly read test results and who miss signs of lung cancer
- Imaging centers, if they are negligent in hiring or have policies that result in patients experiencing a missed or delayed diagnosis
There may also be other potential defendants as well. The key to making a claim is that you must prove the defendant failed to fulfill the professional obligations they owed to you or your loved one, and lung cancer was misdiagnosed because of it.
