Misdiagnosis of Cancer

If diagnosed early, most cancers are treatable and are not as fatal as they once were. However, when cancer is misdiagnosed the consequences can be severe and can lead to more invasive treatment or a significantly worsened prognosis.

Delay in diagnosis of cancer claims are quite common with many involving a delay in the diagnosis of:
 Breast Cancer
 Rectal Cancer
 Lung Cancer

To bring a misdiagnosis of cancer claim, you must prove that the cancer was detectable and should have been detected based on the symptoms complained of. In addition, it must be shown that earlier diagnosis would have, on the balance of probabilities, altered the eventual outcome. This can either be less extensive treatment or a better prognosis.

Our Panel Members regularly recover compensation on behalf of Claimants who have been the victim of misdiagnosis of cancer.

Many claims are against their GP and involve allegations that the GP failed to refer the Claimant for treatment / investigations.
