Medical Negligence: Cancer Misdiagnosis + Treatment Delays

Why pursue a clinical negligence claim for misdiagnosis and/or delayed treatment of cancer.

If you, or a loved one, have suffered with cancer, we don’t have to tell you what you already know; that early detection and treatment of cancer is crucial.

38% of cancer cases are preventable, which is why early detection, diagnosis and treatment are so important.

Delays in treatment or misdiagnosis, especially in more aggressive and fast spreading cancers, can:-

• significantly impact lifespan and survival rate.
• Allow untreated cancers to spread;
• cause a treatable cancer to become untreatable; or
• lead to more invasive treatment that take longer to recover from and leave scarring/cosmetic defects.

We fight for answers, justice and compensation.

Our healthcare system is a fantastic thing, however clinical practitioners, whether its your GP, a hospital consultant, or a surgeon, still owe a duty of care to the patients they treat.

When the standard of care falters and causes accidents, it can often be difficult to get a clear answer as to what went wrong, why it went wrong and what has been done to prevent history repeating itself.

Being diagnosed with cancer is traumatic enough, for you, your family and your health, without then having your chances of remission (and your mental health) significantly impacted by misdiagnosis or diagnosis delays.

Our robust and tenacious team of medical negligence solicitors and lawyers act for you, to find the answers to your questions, provide access to leading oncology professionals, access to alternative treatments and therapies that may not be available on the NHS and financial compensation.

Are there any upfront fees to make a claim?

We run our medical negligence claims on a Conditional Fee Agreement, more commonly known as a ‘No win, no fee’ agreement.

What this means is that we will run the claim for you. We are only paid if we win your claim by way of a small deduction from your settlement compensation to meet our fees and expenses (which is a capped fee).

This provides complete cost transparency and comfort at a time where a medical mistake may have left you struggling financially.
