Cancer sees a person undergo one of the most challenging times in their lives, whether it is them or a close loved one suffering from the disease. There is a standard waiting time of 2 weeks to be seen for urgent cancer referral in England and Wales, with one person every 2 minutes diagnosed with cancer in the UK on average. There are, however, many times when a cancer misdiagnosis occurs, with symptoms attributed to a different medical problem.

It is key to know that an accurate and timely cancer diagnosis is extremely important for a patient, so that their mind and body can get ready to combat the disease. A late cancer diagnosis by a medical professional on a patient is harmful, it denies the patient a chance to battle against the disease sooner. In fact, such a patient is often in a worse position than those whose cancer was diagnosed at an earlier time. You will need access to the expertise of a trusted cancer misdiagnosis solicitor for Sheffield if you suffer from a cancer misdiagnosis.

Hampson Hughes Solicitors, with our team of clinical negligence solicitors practising in the city of Sheffield and across the UK, possess the kind of expertise you can depend on. We are equipped to help you pursue a cancer misdiagnosis compensation claim, helping many clients with favourable compensation claims by excellent legal representation. Our strong track record in pursuing cancer compensation claims is something you can trust.

  • How Do I Know if I Have a Cancer Misdiagnosis Claim?

    We are aware that financial compensation cannot cover the consequences that follow a cancer misdiagnosis by a private healthcare facility or the NHS for a patient. However, any additional pain and suffering that emanate from a cancer misdiagnosis should be the subject of a claim. Every time cancer is allowed to go untreated, pain, suffering and loss of important time of the patient are experienced.

    Hampson Hughes has a team of cancer misdiagnosis solicitors in Birmingham who work to ensure such situations are recognised. We may be able to help you secure the compensation you deserve, just like we have assisted many clients in Birmingham and across the UK. The right recompense plays an important part in assisting patients to experience more comfort as they are being taken care of. The financial support can be vital to an individual or family during the crucial recovery process.

    You will know that cancer comes with a range of physical and emotional impacts that encroach on the lives of a patient and their loved ones, from family life to work. Of course, compensation for such a situation can be immensely helpful. The medical expert involved is the one responsible for offering a timely and accurate cancer diagnosis, so should they fail, a cancer misdiagnosis claim can be sought. Our cancer misdiagnosis solicitors in Birmingham offer their expertise, helping you deal with claims resulting from cases of cancer diagnosis failure.

  • How Do Cancer Misdiagnosis Claims Work in the UK?

    A report that appeared in The Guardian in April 2017 stated that after surveying over 4,000 patients diagnosed with a form of cancer in accident and emergency departments, it was found that 41% of those who had sought previous medical help from their GP had visited 3 or more times.  The study, by the British Journal of General Practice, also showed those diagnosed with cancer at an emergency stage have a considerably worse prognosis than those diagnosed at an earlier stage.

    With our medical negligence solicitors here at Hampson Hughes, we are able to provide expert legal assistance to anyone pursuing a cancer misdiagnosis compensation claim in your region. Through a consultation that we offer for free, our cancer misdiagnosis solicitors for clients in Birmingham can give you a clear assessment of your legal options after a thorough exploration of the details of your case.

    Should a loved one have sadly passed on after a late diagnosis of cancer, Hampson Hughes also offers legal support to the families left behind. We fully understand that no compensation could ever replace a loved one, but it may be able to ease the burden of financial pressure due to the loss of a family member.

Great service from start to finish. My solicitor was always happy to explain what was happening and in the end, he got me more compensation than what the insurance company were going to offer me. Glad I used them to look after my claim and I've just had my cheque earlier than expected today!!
