Breast Cancer Medical Negligence

When you are treated by a medical professional, you expect a certain standard of care. Unfortunately, however, this isn't always provided, leaving patients in more pain and with ongoing health problems.

Common examples of breast cancer negligence include:   

• Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis - This could be caused by doctors failing to refer a patient for further tests or misreading test results. This  can have devastating effects, such as prolonged illness orsadly even death, which could have been avoided or at least delayed.
  
  On many occasions, we have represented clients who have suffered as a result of breast cancer misdiagnosis, where a GP has diagnosed breast cancer as another illness, meaning the patient often doesn't receive the treatment they need until it is too late.
  
  We have also helped people who have experienced the other side of misdiagnosis - being told they have breast cancer when they don't. Many of these clients have not only suffered psychologically, but also physically, having undergone a needless mastectomy - the surgical removal of one or both breasts.

• Errors in surgery - This could involve failing to remove enough of the cancerous tissue, which may leave a patient seriously ill when it should have improved their condition. In addition, it is sometimes the case that a mistake is made that seriously injures another part of the body.

Whatever your circumstances, if you believe you, a family member or friend have suffered unnecessarily due to a mistake made by a GP, nurse or surgeon during the treatment or diagnosis of breast cancer, we have the expertise and experience necessary to help you claim compensation.
