A delay in the diagnosis of cancer can have devastating consequences, impacting treatment options, recovery prospects, and overall quality of life.
At Taylor Rose, we specialise in helping individuals and families affected by delayed cancer diagnosis to seek the compensation they deserve.
A claim for delay in cancer diagnosis arises when medical professionals fail to identify cancer within a reasonable timeframe, resulting in harm or worsening of the patient’s condition. This can occur due to:
Failure to act on symptoms or refer for further investigation.
Misinterpretation of diagnostic tests (e.g., scans, biopsies, or blood tests).
Delays in organising or accessing necessary diagnostic procedures.
Inadequate follow-up after initial consultations or tests.
In these cases, the delay can lead to the cancer progressing to a more advanced stage, reducing treatment effectiveness and potentially causing avoidable suffering or death.
To bring a successful claim, you must demonstrate that:
1. There was a breach of duty: The care provided fell below acceptable medical standards.
2. The breach caused harm: The delay in diagnosis directly resulted in a worse outcome than if the cancer had been diagnosed and treated earlier.
Our specialist solicitors work with medical experts to evaluate your case, ensuring the evidence is robust and comprehensive.
Compensation in these cases is designed to reflect the harm caused by the delay, including:
Pain, suffering, and loss of amenity: To account for physical and emotional harm.
Medical expenses: For additional treatments or care required due to the delay.
Loss of earnings: If the delay has affected your ability to work.
Future care and support: For ongoing needs stemming from the worsened prognosis.
Every case is unique, and our team will carefully assess your circumstances to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
At Taylor Rose, we combine legal expertise with genuine compassion. Our team will handle your claim with sensitivity and diligence, ensuring you feel supported every step of the way.
Contact us today to arrange a no-obligation consultation and take the first step towards seeking justice and accountability for the harm caused by delayed cancer diagnosis.
