Misdiagnosis including Cancer Misdiagnosis

Over the years medical science has improved dramatically, allowing the vast majority of illnesses to be treated. Most cancers can be treated. The most crucial factor in treating any illness is intervention as early as possible. Therefore, if a medical professional fails to correctly diagnose an illness it can continue to deteriorate. If the signs should have been spotted by your medical professional, you may be entitled to make a claim for compensation for medical negligence.

Types of misdiagnosis?

Failure to diagnose or misdiagnosis of cancer
Failure to diagnose or misdiagnosis of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
Failure to diagnose or misdiagnosis of Cauda Equina
Failure to diagnose or misdiagnosis of fractures

Often in the early stages you are still coming to terms with the illness which was not properly diagnosed. You can be uncertain whether you might have a claim, or what to do about it if you think your medical professional should have correctly diagnosed your symptoms. This is where The Medical Negligence Solicitors can help you. If you have any doubt about whether you have been a victim of misdiagnosis, please contact us and we will help you.
