Cancer Misdiagnosis Claims
A misdiagnosis of cancer, or late diagnosis, can have an enormous impact on your health and well-being. When doctors or medical practitioners make mistakes, or your symptoms are diagnosed too late, it can make it much harder to treat the condition. In some cases, the cancer might have become inoperable within the timeframe where it had been originally misdiagnosed.
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
Dealing with the diagnosis of a serious illness is stressful enough without there being any impropriety on the part of the healthcare provider. However, mistakes can and do often happen, so it is important to work with a specialist in this area if you think you have a basis to bring a claim.

- Specialist medical treatment costs – for example, private doctor or surgeon fees
- Rehabilitation costs – enabling you to join cancer rehabilitation programs
