Cancer misdiagnosis compensation claims

As worrying and as sensitive as the topic may be, we simply have to talk about cancer misdiagnosis compensation claims because they do happen.

It’s an important subject to cover because for patients who have suffered a misdiagnosis that’s related to cancer, the impact can be devastating. In some cases, the impact can be permanent, and in some cases, it can be fatal.

If you have been misdiagnosed when you had cancer, or if you were symptoms we misdiagnosed as cancer and you’ve had unnecessary treatment, its important to know your rights.

Cancer misdiagnosis compensation claims

Cancer misdiagnosis compensation claims are some of the most sensitive and serious types of medical negligence claims that we represent people for.

As a firm, we focus on catastrophic claims, which means the core of our focus and experience is for those who have suffered severe injustice.

With these types of claims, we’re more than just your lawyers. We’re your support network, which means we can assist with private appointments and treatment in some cases. We can assist with occupational therapy needs, and we can chase down part-payments early before a case settles in times of financial hardship, which can be common with time off work.

And we do all this on a No Win, No Fee basis.

Missed cancer claims

Cancer misdiagnosis compensation claims that arise from a missed diagnosis or where a non-cancer diagnosis is given can, of course, be devastating.

In many cases, cancer will spread and progressively get worse. Accurately diagnosing cancer can therefore be the difference between life and death. If a patient is fortunate enough to survive, living with the complications and consequences of a late diagnosis can be life-altering.

And it’s the impact of what you now must live with that we take into account when we look to settle a claim of this nature.

Wrongly diagnosed with cancer

The impact of being wrongly diagnosed with cancer can be physically and emotionally destructive. Depending on what action has been taken, an incorrect cancer diagnosis can leave a victim suffering as badly as those whose cancer was missed.

For these kinds of cancer misdiagnosis compensation claims, we must look at the lasting effects of any unnecessary surgery and treatment you have had to undergo. We must assess the mental impact of you believing that you were living with, and fighting against, a deadly illness.

Chemotherapy is not a nice thing to have to undergo. As examples, mastectomies for breast cancer, or partial removal of the stomach for stomach cancer, will usually leave you with long-term health complications.

And for these treatments and surgeries to have been administered unnecessarily is disastrous.

As such, compensation pay-outs for these types of claims reflects what you have had to go through and what you will be left with.
