According to a report by the Institute of Medicine, medical errors and negligence are responsible for at least 44,000 deaths each year in the United States and possibly as many as 98,000 each year. Sadly, cervical cancer makes up a large number of these deaths. If a woman develops cervical cancer–even though Pap Smears were being performed on a regular basis at the suggestion of a physician, negligence may be the cause. Doctors and hospitals must properly perform and interpret Pap Smears and appropriately treat patients once the conclusion of cancer or cancer-like conditions has been made.
If you have suffered serious personal injury due to cervical cancer, it is crucial to obtain capable and knowledgeable legal representation as quickly as possible.
