Partner | NYC Cancer Misdiagnosis Attorney
Edward A. Ruffo has secured numerous seven-figure recoveries in complex medical malpractice cases. After beginning his career in product liability litigation, he expanded his practice to focus on medical negligence when the firm began handling a growing number of substantial malpractice matters.
Mr. Ruffo immersed himself in the technical side of medicine, teaching himself to analyze medical records line by line, long before digital research tools were available. With nothing more than a medical dictionary and determination, he developed a deep understanding of complex diagnostic errors. Over time, that commitment enabled him to interpret records with exceptional clarity, in some cases identifying failures that others overlooked.
Today, he applies that same disciplined approach to uncover how and why a cancer diagnosis was missed, building cases designed to withstand rigorous defense challenges.

When properly utilized, mammograms can give doctors warning signs about tumors and irregularities in breast tissue. If doctors fail to recognize these warnings or fail to take appropriate measures when they do, cancerous tissue can grow and spread to the point where it is untreatable.
Our attorneys consult with experts in radiology, oncology and other relevant fields to help our clients identify who was liable for the delayed diagnosis and what legal measures are at our disposal.
If you have been affected by a misread mammogram, then you may have a claim for compensation. Even though doctors and medical facilities are insured, they often challenge the claims of plaintiffs who deserve to have their medical errors rectified. Our firm can help even the playing field and welcomes the opportunity to take these coverage providers to court to secure appropriate compensation for our clients.
