Very pleased with Hampson Hughes staff and the way my case was dealt with. I have told several friends and family of your company.

Types of cancer compensation claims
A cancer diagnosis is made every two minutes in the UK. Although cancer may occur at any stage of life, the risk increases with age – over one third of diagnoses involve those aged 75 years or over, while fewer than 1% of all cancer diagnoses are made in patients aged 0-14 years.
Your cancer misdiagnosis claim could involve:
Delay in diagnosis
A delay in diagnosis may occur following a failure to arrange follow up testing. If you feel that your symptoms have been over looked, speak to us today for instant advice.
Incorrect referral
You could be eligible for compensation following any delay in receiving a referral to a relevant specialist – an incorrect referral could slow the progress of your treatment.
Misinterpretation of test results
Compensation may be available following a misinterpretation of your test results. Examples include a misinterpretation of X-rays, blood tests, or tissue smears.
Common types of cancer misdiagnosis
There are several types of cancer that are commonly misdiagnosed. If you feel that your symptoms were not recognised and subsequently were not treated within a reasonable time-frame, speak to us today. Commonly misdiagnosed cancers include:
Lung cancer
Lung cancer symptoms typically mirror the symptoms of common lung infections such as pneumonia, bronchitis, and tuberculosis.
Breast cancer
Your GP may misinterpret your breast cancer symptoms as symptoms of mastitis or fibrocystic breast disease.
Pancreatic cancer
Symptoms often closely reflect the symptoms of other related illnesses such as pancreatitis and diabetes.
Colorectal cancer
Symptoms may be confused with symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome and ulcerative colitis.
