Types Of Thyroid Disease Lawsuits

- Hyperthyroidism
- Hypothyroidism
- Thyroid cancer
- Hashimoto’s Disease
- Goiter
- Thyroid nodules
Each of these are considered endocrine system injuries as the thyroid gland is part of the endocrine system. The type of doctor you see for these health issues is an endocrinologist. And, in the unfortunate event your endocrinologist causes you further illness, injury or harm due to medical malpractice you can obtain benefits and financial compensation via a medical malpractice lawsuit against your endocrinologist.
