Cancer Misdiagnosis Claims
If your cancer was made worse because of either misdiagnosis or incorrect treatment, we could help you make a claim for compensation.
Cancer Misdiagnosis Compensation Claims
Failure to promptly treat cancer can lead to life threatening situations. It is vital that cancer is diagnosed accurately and as early as possible to aid the best chances of recovery. Mistakes made by doctors and medical professionals can sometimes lead to cancer being diagnosed too late, making the cancer harder to treat, or even worse becoming terminal.
When medical negligence leads to cancer being misdiagnosed it is possible for people to make cancer misdiagnosis compensation claims.
What Constitutes as Negligence?
Misdiagnosis of cancer is often due to negligent treatment. Medical negligence occurs when medical professionals fail to provide a good standard of care. If you have suffered harmful consequences due to misdiagnosis or late diagnosis of cancer that could have been avoidable, you could make a claim for compensation.
You could be entitled to make a claim for compensation if the medical professional treating you did not:
- Carry out an adequate examination
- Refer you for the relevant tests
- Diagnose cancer despite indications from symptoms and test results
- Conduct the necessary scans or biopsies
- Send you for specialist cancer treatment
- Provide the correct/necessary treatment
- Organise relevant follow-up care
