Delayed Cancer Diagnosis
If you or a loved one have been diagnosed with cancer of any type, it can be one of the hardest things to hear. Medical mistakes can have significant and sometimes very serious consequences, and nowhere more so than in cancer diagnosis. If your cancer was diagnosed later than it should have been you may be able to bring a medical negligence claim.
Call us today on 0800 342 3206 or get in touch online.
If you have suffered because of somebody else’s negligence, we will help you win the compensation you are entitled to.
DO I HAVE A CLAIM FOR A DELAYED CANCER DIAGNOSIS?
If you suffer from a form of cancer, early diagnosis is of vital importance if you’re to have the best chance of survival.
When initial signs are missed, the window of opportunity for early treatment can be missed and you may be prevented from the best chance of returning to health. Should that be the case, we can guide you step by step so you can put forward a delayed cancer diagnosis compensation claim.
Sometimes a late diagnosis can lead to a patient having to endure a more severe form of treatment than might have initially been the case.
Your GP may not have made a referral when he or she should have, a scan may have been misinterpreted or delayed or symptoms misunderstood. Also, you may have been given incorrect advice about the status of your cancer and missed out on urgent treatment. Our experience across a wide range of cancer types and cases means we know how to deal with a diverse range of claims.
HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO MAKE A CLAIM?
If the case cannot be settled, usually you will need to issue your claim in court within three years of the date of the negligence. Specific circumstances or death may change this timeline. Furthermore, if the claim involves a child, the three-year timeframe begins on the date of their 18th birthday.
HOW MUCH COMPENSATION AM I LIKELY TO RECEIVE?
Each case is different, but the compensation (also known as damages) awarded can be substantial depending on the nature of the case.
Damages are calculated based on any financial loss you have experienced, for example, if you had to take time off work as a result of the negligence, or if the primary earner in your family has passed away. The extent of your pain and suffering will also help to determine the value of your claim.
