Delays in diagnosis of cancer will not only reduce the prospects of recovery but also increase the stress of living with cancer and the type of treatment required. What might have been simply the removal of a lump may turn into a requirement for substantial invasive surgery with associated chemotherapy and radiotherapy and an uncertain future.
Doctors who treat cancer deal with the condition that the patient presents. Most doctors think that it is beyond their role to sit down with the patient and answer questions that are not directly related to immediate investigation and treatment.
The role of a medical negligence lawyer is to obtain complete answers to all of the patients questions and if possible, to obtain a medical negligence compensation payment.
Our medical negligence lawyers will discuss your concerns in detail, take your witness statement, obtain your medical records, a report from an independent specialist as to the likely difference in your condition, treatment, and prognosis had your cancer been diagnosed earlier, and a report to confirm that your cancer should have been diagnosed sooner.
With these we can both help answer the questions you will have and assess the prospects of your cancer medical negligence claim succeeding and the likely level of compensation you would receive.
Making a compensation claim for medical negligence against a hospital or doctor in relation to cancer care is a straightforward process, we guarantee to you that there will be no cost to you at all, whatever the outcome.
