As well as getting you the cancer compensation you deserve, we are here to listen to your story and help you through this difficult process.

Making a Cancer Compensation Claim

We must prove that the standard of care you received fell below the standard of a reasonable doctor or specialist and that prompt diagnosis and treatment would have improved the outcome for you. We can help you claim compensation for the pain and suffering that has been caused due to misdiagnosis or delayed treatment of your cancer, loss of earnings and medical or nursing care costs. We can also recover financial compensation to provide for your family and dependants into the future.

Cancer compensation claims can arise from a number of factors. There could have been a failure to properly investigate reported symptoms, or to diagnose when symptoms or test results have been misread or misinterpreted. A doctor or specialist not responding quickly enough to test results, not carrying out a biopsy, or not referring you to a specialist all amount to a delay in diagnosis. There have been cancer misdiagnosis cases where patients have been diagnosed with cancer only to find out that they are not suffering from it at all. The emotional and physical pain of any cancer misdiagnosis or delay in treatment is a serious matter and Darbys' clinical negligence solicitors are here to help.
