Cervical Cancer Solicitors & Cervical Cancer Misdiagnosis Claims.

Cervical Cancer Claims are a crucial process for those who have suffered because of a misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis.

The importance of regular cervical screening – known as a smear test – is well known, and yet the number of women attending has hit a 20-year low. As the NHS states, this is not a test for cancer: it is a test to help prevent cancer.

Read our blog for more information about why smear tests are so important, or listen to our podcast where Beth Heath discusses fictitious but typical cases involving the delay in diagnosis of cancer.

The early stages of cervical cancer are notoriously difficult to diagnose, which is why regular screenings are so important, but unfortunately, there are cases when results have been misinterpreted following a screening test, leading to misdiagnosis.

Can I make a Cervical Cancer Claim?

If you have suffered because of negligent medical treatment leading to a misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of cervical cancer, you may be eligible for compensation.

It is vital to prove the negligent behaviour of medical professionals or institutions which owe you a duty of care. Once this is established, the next step is providing evidence of the effect that their negligence has had on you, your life, and your cervical cancer.

A mistake or delay in diagnosis of cervical cancer can have serious consequences, such as the condition worsening or the cancer spreading to other parts of the body, therefore requiring costly and more intensive medical treatment and rehabilitation.

Our Cervical Cancer Solicitors at Lanyon Bowdler have helped countless claimants across the UK to collect and document evidence of cancer negligence, supporting them to achieve the best possible outcome from such a traumatic experience. Contact us today to start building your case to ensure a successful Cervical Cancer Claim.

Your Cervical Cancer Compensation questions answered

How can cervical cancer be misdiagnosed?

Although mistakes are thankfully rare, there are some common stages of treatment where misdiagnosis may occur.

  • Cancer symptoms can be mistakenly attributed to heavy periods or the onset of the menopause, delaying diagnosis.
  • Cancer can be correctly diagnosed but then followed by the wrong type of treatment.
  • Smear test results can be incorrectly processed which resulted in misdiagnosis.
  • A GP may fail to timely refer you to a specialist to begin treatment.
  • You may have gone through invasive surgical procedures, such a hysterectomy, when other options were available.
  • A procedure may fail to address or remove the cancer completely, resulting in surgical negligence.

If your cervical cancer was misdiagnosed, or you experienced a delay in diagnosis, you may make a Cervical Cancer Claims to compensate you for your suffering. Contact Lanyon Bowdler today and find out how we can help you.

Is there a time limit on making a Cervical Cancer Claim?

In general, the time limit for bringing a Cervical Cancer Claim is three years from the date of the negligent act or the ‘date of knowledge’ of the injury (to cover situations where the impacts of negligence surface at a future time).

However, if a child suffers because of the negligence of another party, the time limit will usually expire on their 21st birthday unless the child never gains mental capacity due to their injuries, in which case the time limits do not apply.

What can I include in my Cervical Cancer Claim?

Your compensation for cervical cancer misdiagnosis is generally divided in two parts.

General damages are the monetary amount you receive to compensate you for your pain, suffering, and loss of amenities (PSLA). This will include all the physical and psychological trauma you have experienced as a direct result of the negligent behaviour of the medical professional or organisation in charge of your care.

Special damages are the part of your compensation designed to reimburse all damages and losses which can be attributed a monetary value, such as:

  • Loss of income, both past and projected for the future.
  • Travel and medical expenses.
  • Adaptation to your home or vehicle.
  • Specialist care costs, including for friends and family who provided care.

Both parts of your Cervical Cancer Compensation amount must be calculated with the utmost care. It is crucial to seek the advice of expert cervical cancer specialists such as the team at Lanyon Bowdler.

Our solicitors will explain every option available to you, and calculate the best compensation package for your case. Contact us today.

I contacted Lanyon Bowdler for advice on a Welsh Redress offer I received after a recent never event incident that happened during my ectopic pregnancy procedure. The advice and service I received from the very first phone call was fantastic. The advice and information from Emma Hart was clear and her approach was professional while being in a friendly manor. I was kept fully aware of what was happening and I am so thankful to her for sorting everything so quick and easy on my behalf. Her service was truly amazing.
