Lung Cancer Misdiagnosis Claims
Lung cancer is the second most common form of cancer in the UK. Whilst around 90% of lung cancer is thought to be smoking related, a remaining 10% is thought to be caused by exposure to certain gases and chemicals. With the advancement of medical technology most cancers can now be treated and more patients are being successfully treated than ever before. However, it is vital that intervention is made as early as possible.
A claim for a Misdiagnosis of Lung Cancer may arise out of a medical professional’s failure to spot the signs of the disease. However, failure to spot the signs of disease does not automatically give someone a right to compensation. The question must then turn to what would have happened had the signs been spotted at an early stage.
In England, the test which is applied is as follows:-
- Was there a misdiagnosis?
- If yes, would any treatment have been recommended?
- Would the recommended treatment have had over a 50% chance of succeeding?
If we are able to prove that the answer is yes to the above then you may have a claim for compensation.
Our experienced clinical and medical negligence solicitors understand how difficult it is during this period of illness. We regularly advise clients regarding misdiagnosis claims; should you decide to pursue a claim, we will support you every step of the way, ensuring you receive appropriate financial compensation.
