Misdiagnosis & delayed diagnosis claims

Were you misdiagnosed?

Sadly delay in treatment, misdiagnosis and mismanagement of breast cancer is one of the most common claims we deal with. In part this is due to the sheer numbers involved of women suffering from breast cancer: almost 10% of all women in the UK.

Breast cancer must be diagnosed early and treatment to begin right away to increase the likelihood of a positive outcome. Delays in treatment caused by misdiagnosis bring all manner of unforeseen problems and costs, and not forgetting the emotional suffering that you and your loved ones have to deal with when your life expectancy has been affected by negligence.

Common Questions Relating to Misdiagnosis Claims

How are compensation claims calculated?

You may need to be assessed by a medical team for us to better understand your limitations caused by your misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis.

Compensation will take into account future physical and psychological support required, specialist equipment and adaptions to your home that are needed. Also, any future pain and suffering that you may experience will be taken into account alongside the loss of work and income related to your injury.

How common is misdiagnosis?

The report, by the All. Can cancer initiative, warns that one in five (21 per cent) of UK patients surveyed said they waited more than six months to get the correct diagnosis.

How do you prove and claim for emotional distress?

To prove emotional distress this will need to include witness testimony documentation and other evidence related to your claim. You can of course provide your own testimony including information on lack of sleep, anxiety, flashbacks and other emotional injury.

If you or a loved one has suffered an injury due to negligence please contact one of our specialist solicitors on 0333 987 4161 to discuss your claim.
