George Ide's clinical negligence solicitors and cancer claims

In many cases, where cancer is found in a patient it may be treatable if it is diagnosed swiftly and correctly. However, for a number of reasons, timely diagnosis and treatment may not be forthcoming and, by the time full diagnosis is made, the cancer may be too progressed for the patient to receive therapies which may have saved their life or altered the course of the illness.

Where clinical negligence can be proved, a claim for compensation may be made and this can serve to ensure the financial security of a patient who requires long-term treatment and is unable to work, or for the family of a patient who has died.

Damages may also be recoverable in cases of wrong diagnosis where a patient has suffered psychological harm after being told they have cancer only to find out later that they do not have the disease or, perhaps, a different illness.

Cancer claims in cases of wrong diagnosis are often complex, and require an experienced team of litigation experts to ensure that the client's best interests are sought and protected at all times.
