As Seen On
Any person dealing with cancer or having a loved one suffering from it will know how hard and troubling such a time is in anyone’s life. A cancer misdiagnosis can make matters considerably worse. The usual waiting time to be seen for an urgent cancer referral in England and Wales is 2 weeks, but with one person every 2 minutes diagnosed with cancer in the UK, there are cases where symptoms are mistaken for other medical problems.

This may lead to a cancer misdiagnosis. Given that it’s very important to have a timely and accurate diagnosis forming the first point in readying your mind and body to combat cancer, late cancer treatment caused by a misdiagnosis by a medical professional often means the chances of battling against the disease successfully are lowered. A patient whose cancer was detected late generally has a lower possibility of dealing with the disease as compared to those whose diagnosis was received earlier.
If you or a relative is a victim of a cancer misdiagnosis, you would benefit from engaging a highly qualified cancer misdiagnosis solicitor. Hampson Hughes Solicitors has a team of medical negligence solicitors operating in the area of Wakefield and across the UK. We possess the expertise and experience to provide trusted legal assistance to our clients, with a strong track record in helping individuals to explore cancer misdiagnosis compensation claims and give you the best chance of recognition and compensation.

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.
