The world of Medical Negligence can be quite big and daunting. That’s why we’ve broken it down in an easy way so you can hopefully find what you’re looking for. Here are all the areas we cover regarding Cancer Misdiagnosis Claims. Click on any of the buttons below to find out more about the area you need.
Because cancer is very tricky to diagnose, even with today’s advanced technology. Many symptoms of cancer can also appear when other diseases are present too. For example, lung cancer can look like a wide variety of other illnesses. The main symptoms are a vague and as varied as breathlessness, tight feeling in the chest, losing weight, feeling tired and a persistent cough. As you can see, these symptoms could apply to many illnesses, so pinning them down to lung cancer is tricky.
However, if your GP suspects that it may be cancer, but doesn’t send you for the correct tests, they’re guilty of misdiagnosis.
The current state of the NHS is also a cause for concern. The cuts in funding have meant cuts in staffing levels. This has led to a decrease in the levels of care that patients receive, which has resulted in the many claims for negligence we’re now seeing.
If you believe that you’ve been the victim of a cancer misdiagnosis, you should find out if you can make a claim for compensation. Regent Law would need only a few minutes of your time to be able to tell you if it’s likely to be successful or not.
Here are some of the most common cancer misdiagnosis claims we see at Regent Law:
All types of cancer are, sadly, at risk of being misdiagnosed. However, some suffer from it more than others. Some of the most common cancer cases we deal with are:
However, these are not the only ways in which cancer misdiagnosis can occur, nor are these the only cancers that suffer from misdiagnosis. So, if you’re particular set of circumstances is not detailed here, call us to find out if we can help you.
Claiming compensation is not personal. Each and every healthcare professional working in the UK has to be covered by professional insurance, for time just like this.
Even if that healthcare professional is a trusted friend, as doctors can often be, you should still explore the possibility of claiming – it’s to help you. And, if your claim is successful, your compensation is paid by the insurance company. It does not come out of the pocket of the person you are claiming from.
Think of how car insurance works, this works the same. A driver takes out a policy to cover the costs of being in an accident, that’s considered to be their fault. When the other person in the accident makes a claim for whiplash, for example, it’s your insurance company that makes the payment if the claim succeeds – not the driver.
People are afraid of making claims for compensation, but there’s nothing to be frightened of, we’ll help you through the process, every step of the way. Compensation is designed to help you. It’s meant to make your everyday life as normal as possible.
So, if you’ve suffered from a cancer misdiagnosis that has prevented you from working, and you have no other way of supporting yourself – that’s what compensation is for!
Maybe you’ll need expensive follow-up treatment or rehabilitation costing thousands of pounds – that’s what compensation is for!
Perhaps you will now require a carer to look after you 24 hours a day – that’s what compensation is for!

The law states that any claim for compensation for cancer misdiagnosis must be brought within three years of the negligence happening or three years from the date that you realised the negligence caused a worsening of your disease. This time limit is known as a ‘statute of limitations’. If you miss this time limit, there’s nothing anyone can do – there are no exceptions. So, make sure you call us today.
We don’t believe that those who’ve suffered negligence at the hands of another should be out-of-pocket, whilst their claim progresses. That’s why we use the ‘no win, no fee’ system.
