Medical Negligence - Misdiagnosis
If you have suffered as a result of misdiagnosis of cancer or any other illness (or a failure to diagnose) and someone has been negligent, you may be able to make a medical negligence compensation claim.
There are two main types of medical misdiagnosis. The first is where a condition is completely undiagnosed, for example a patient visiting their GP with health problems over a period of time and the GP fails to diagnose the illness. The second is where an incorrect diagnosis is made, for example a fracture being diagnosed as a sprain or a person being told they have cancer when in fact they don't.
This situation can be made worse by a number of factors, including how a patient and doctor speak to each other on first contact. If a patient is either very old or very young, they may well have an adult present to help describe symptoms or explain to them what treatment is being suggested.
Misdiagnosis through medical negligence can be caused by:
- X-rays and scans have been misinterpreted
- Tissue samples and smears have been wrongly interpreted by pathologists
- Adequate investigations have not been carried out
Our specialist personal injury solicitors have the expertise to advise you how to make a compensation claim and obtain the maximum award of compensation available.
