Hi Diane:
I have not filed litigation but did check into it. I went to my family doctor for about a year and continually presented the first 3 symptoms of laryngeal cancer, and he kept saying it was sinuitus and allergies. He never once looked down my throat, never took a throat culture. Finally I insisted that something be done. The ENT I went to found the cancer. I went and talked with a good friend that I use to work with that is an attorney. He has advised that I would have to prove that a different result would have occurred, if the cancer was found early. So far that has been hard to prove. Also it would be difficult to find an attorney who would take a case like this on a contingency basis. I don't know if this helps or not. But litigation is always difficult and can take forever to come to closure.
