Cancer Misdiagnosis Claims

Our team have helped many clients claim compensation where they have suffered a delayed or incorrect cancer diagnosis.

A failure to refer a patient correctly at an early stage for cancer treatment can delay or prevent recovery and, sadly, in some circumstances affect a patient’s chances of survival.

Our specialist team have handled many cases involving a delay or failure to correctly diagnose cancer. We have acted in claims arising from failings of the treatment of cancer for many years. 

Cancer cases are immensely complex and it is essential to assemble an experienced team of experts and counsel to ensure that your case is fully explored and presented as clearly as possible. 

We have acted for cancer patients and bereaved families where our client has been denied the opportunity of receiving treatment which would have given them a good chance of survival.  Sadly the law can do very little to address our clients’ feelings of anger, frustration and despair but in the long run the financial compensation that may be available can help to rebuild a family’s life.

We have also acted for clients who have had to endure a more painful and protracted form of treatment due to delays in diagnosis. While they have been able to survive the ordeal it has taken a long time for their lives to return to normal. For these clients financial compensation has given them breathing space to get their lives back on track.

We have frequently acted for clients who have received over-aggressive treatment for pre-cancerous conditions, when less invasive treatment would have been appropriate. For example, we have acted for women who have undergone mastectomies when a lumpectomy should have been carried out, and for women who have had hysterectomies when much more limited surgery was indicated.

Other cases have involved catastrophic injuries caused by the delayed diagnosis, misdiagnosis or incorrect treatment of a the condition.

If you feel that a doctor has let you down, please do get in touch with our experienced team.
