When interpreted correctly, the Papanicolaou "Pap" test is the most successful screening test in medical history. Millions of women every year put their trust in laboratories to properly screen their Pap smears for abnormal cells. Unfortunately, some laboratories put profits over patient safety and encourage their employees to review too many Pap smear slides per day. All too often this results in abnormal cells being missed, which may allow an otherwise treatable condition to progress into fatal cancer.
If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with cervical cancer, it may have been the result of a Pap smear that was negligently misread as "negative" or "normal." We have the experience and resources to conduct a thorough investigation of your case and, if malpractice is involved, we will work hard to get the compensation you deserve.
