Breast Cancer Negligence Claims - Clinical Negligence Cases
Breast cancer negligence claims can involve clinical negligence cases in which a medical professional acted outside the scope of what can reasonably expected from someone with their degree of training. Over 50,000 women in the UK will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year and of those affected; approximately 80% will be treated successfully without negative side effects.
There is always still a chance of avoidable errors being made during breast cancer surgery even with the latest treatment and screening methods. Clinical negligence cases can leave the injured party with life-changing injuries that may require thousands of pounds in medical costs and rehabilitation treatments.
You are entitled to receive compensation for your clinical negligence injuries if you have received substandard medical treatment. Working with a claim advisor can help you to maximise your compensation and help you to achieve your compensation goals.
A claim specialist can walk you through the claims process and help you to focus on the road to recovery.
Types of Breast Cancer Negligence Claims – Clinical Negligence Cases
There are two types of breast cancer negligence claims that are encountered in Scotland. Let’s take a moment examine the differences between the two and how they can negatively affect you.
Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis Claims
Misdiagnosis occurs when a General Practitioner (GP) fails to accurately recognise your ailments. This is very dangerous as it can often end up with medications and treatments administered with negative effects. Below are some common examples of causes of medical diagnoses claims.
- Misread Scans
- Misread Biopsies
- Failing to Completely Remove the Cancer Completely
- Misuse of Chemotherapy Drugs
- Wrong Surgical Procedure
- Failed Investigative Testing Procedures
Delayed diagnosis claims occur as a result of your GP failing to notify you of your breast cancer. When breast cancer is detected too late, you are unable to take advantage of many of the most effective cancer-fighting medical treatments available today and in many cases, it may be too late to successfully treat cancer when it has been detected too late.
Surgical Negligence Claims
Surgical negligence claims occur as a result of complications during surgery. These are often the result of subpar investigative testing procedures or human error. You are eligible to receive compensation if you were injured during your breast cancer surgery as a result of bad medical practices.
