Cancer Misdiagnosis Claims

If you’re seeking help to file cancer misdiagnosis claims in the UK, look no further than HPA Solicitors. We have years of experience assisting clients navigating these complex legal matters. Our cancer misdiagnosis solicitors understand the devastating impact of cancer misdiagnosis on patients and their families. 

 Cancer misdiagnosis happens more than it should. When medical professionals fail to spot the disease’s warning signs, people suffer life-changing or even fatal consequences. Our team has handled hundreds of these cases. As a result, our cancer misdiagnosis lawyers have special skills and knowledge. 

We’ll work with leading medical examiners who can evaluate your case and provide crucial evidence. Let us help you get the compensation you deserve.

Types of Cancer Misdiagnosis Claims We Handle

Cancer can affect any part of the body. Unfortunately, misdiagnosis can happen with any type of cancer. Our cancer misdiagnosis solicitors handle claims involving:

  • Breast Cancer Misdiagnosis – Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women. Early detection saves lives. Patients lose precious time when doctors miss lumps, dismiss symptoms, or misread mammograms. We help women who face delays in breast cancer diagnosis.
  • Lung Cancer Misdiagnosis – Lung cancer symptoms often get mistaken for other conditions. Persistent coughs, chest pain, and breathing problems might be dismissed as minor issues. Our team handles cases where a lung cancer diagnosis was delayed or missed entirely.
  • Bowel Cancer Misdiagnosis – Changes in bowel habits, blood in stools, and abdominal pain can be early warning signs. When doctors attribute these symptoms to less serious conditions, bowel cancer can progress undetected. We fight for patients who experience these diagnostic failures.
  • Skin Cancer Misdiagnosis – Skin cancer can be highly treatable when caught early. However, some medical professionals fail to recognise suspicious moles or skin changes. We represent clients whose skin cancer went undiagnosed or was misidentified.
  • Prostate Cancer Misdiagnosis – Prostate cancer affects thousands of men each year. Symptoms can be subtle, but proper testing can detect the disease early. We help men whose prostate cancer was missed or diagnosed too late.
  • Other Cancer Types – We also handle claims involving cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer, and many other types. Each case is unique, but our approach remains the same. We always complete a thorough investigation and provide dedicated representation.

Understanding Your Right to Cancer Misdiagnosis Compensation

Cancer misdiagnosis settlements depend on various factors, such as additional medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and reduced life expectancy. 

We’ll carefully calculate your losses to ensure you receive fair cancer misdiagnosis compensation. Our team can handle all the legal work while you focus on your health. To win cancer misdiagnosis compensation, we must prove several key points, including:

  • Medical Negligence Occurred – We must show that your medical care fell below acceptable standards. This might involve missed symptoms, incorrect test interpretation, or failure to refer you to specialists. Our medical experts can review your case to identify where things went wrong.
  • The Negligence Caused Harm – Our cancer misdiagnosis lawyers must demonstrate that the diagnostic delay or error directly affected your health outcomes. This could mean your cancer progressed further than it would have with proper diagnosis. It might also mean you needed more aggressive treatment or lost treatment options.
  • You Suffered Losses – In addition to proving that the healthcare provider’s negligence caused harm, we also need to show that you suffered losses as a result. These losses can include physical pain and suffering, emotional distress, medical expenses, lost wages or reduced earning capacity, and other financial damages.
