Helpful Information
Our expert team of medical negligence solicitors have many years of experience in assisting patients with bringing cancer misdiagnosis claims, including late diagnosis of lung, bladder, bowel, liver, stomach, prostate and breast cancer. Being diagnosed with cancer is devastating for you and your family and is made even harder if a treatable illness has been misdiagnosed or diagnosed too late.
Our team of solicitors will work closely with you to help you to establish if you have the grounds for a successful claim and to secure the money that may be entitled to that might help to make things a little easier for you through this challenging period if you do. We will also work on your behalf to get to the bottom of what happened to you and to seek redress from the medical staff involved in your case.
Bringing a Cancer Misdiagnosis Compensation Claim

- Rehabilitation costs – enabling you to join cancer rehabilitation programs
