Have You Experienced a Misdiagnosis of Breast Cancer?

Although breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, if it’s detected early, survival and recovery rates are high. A delay in diagnosis might arise due to a failure to send you for tests or a failure to interpret the results properly, and can lead to life-altering consequences. This can include the need for more invasive treatments, such as mastectomy, chemotherapy or radiotherapy and, in the most devastating cases, reduced life expectancy or loss of life.

We specialise in securing compensation for individuals who have been affected by medical failings that played a part in a breast cancer misdiagnosis. We are experienced in handling cases involving missed symptoms, incorrect testing, misinterpreted results, and inadequate treatment. With a compassionate approach and a detailed understanding of this complex and highly emotional area, we can help you seek compensation and regain control of your future.

We specialise in helping people who have been affected by a misdiagnosis of breast cancer. If your doctor missed the early signs, didn’t perform the necessary tests, or failed to provide suitable treatment, we’re here for you. Our compassionate team understands how overwhelming this can feel and is dedicated to making you feel fully supported every step of the way. Let us help you seek the compensation you deserve, for care that fell short.

Cancer Claim FAQs

We will discuss your circumstances at a time and place to suit you – in person, at your home or on the telephone. We can request your medical records at the outset free of charge. Once we have reviewed your records we can advise you further and appoint suitable experts to provide their opinion on your potential claim.

Medical negligence claims rarely go to court, with only a small percentage of the more complex cases ending up there. However, in the unlikely event that your case reaches court, we will be by your side throughout the process.

It is important to pursue your claim as quickly as possible due to time limits and to also enable us to help you obtain compensation as soon as possible. This is especially the case in complex cases as the process can be lengthy.

You have to start your claim within 3-years (limitation period) from when the injury occurred or when you first became aware of any potential negligence or injury as a result. However, the time limit only begins when a child reaches 18 years of age.

For someone who lacks capacity to pursue any litigation, the 3-year time period may never start to run although capacity can return or be intermittent.

You should always seek legal advice upon the relevant limitation period in your circumstances.

The aim of compensation is to put you in the financial position you would have been in had it not been for the injury/negligence in question. We recognise that this is sometimes impossible, but we can work with you and the best experts to ensure all your needs are assessed and costed to help you transform your life for the better, and to give you financial security for the future.

We can provide a second opinion free of charge. We have acted for many clients who have been told they don’t have a case, but by looking at the claim in a different way and with our expertise, we have gone on to be successful.
