4 Injury & Negligence WHAT CAN CAUSE A DELAY IN DIAGNOSIS OF CANCER? A delay in diagnosis can occur for many reasons and the following are more common: GPs failing to arrange investigations/tests or referral to hospital Hospital doctors failing to investigate symptoms eg with CT/ MRI scans, blood tests Misreporting of X-Rays, CT/MRI scans, smears or biopsies GPs and hospital doctors failing to communicate test results INJURIES CAUSED BY A DELAY IN DIAGNOSIS The effect of a delay in diagnosis or a misdiagnosis is dependent upon the location of the tumour, the type of cancer, the grade of the tumour and the stage of the tumour. The grade of the tumour relates to the level of abnormality of the cells and how aggressive the tumour is. The stage of the tumour relates to how far the tumour has spread and is often expressed in terms of the TNM staging system to denote whether the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes and/or whether there are secondaries.
5 The following types of injury may occur where there has been a delay in diagnosing or appropriately treating cancer: The cancer may be more advanced, eg spread to the lymph nodes and/or secondary metastatic spread to other organs The tumour may have grown larger resulting in the need for more extensive surgery such as mastectomy, rather than lumpectomy in breast cancer General health may have been affected as a result of more extensive surgery or more advanced cancer resulting in the need for increased care and equipment Death may have occurred which could have been prevented with earlier treatment and a claim may arise for family members as a result (please see our separate guides relating to Fatal Claims and Inquests) Their knowledge and experience are remarkable; they have a vast understanding and their negotiating skills are excellent. Quote from Chambers (Independent Legal Guide) 05

For more information on funding options, please ask for our funding booklet.
7 Gill Edwards is understanding and very compassionate Quote from Chambers (Independent Legal Guide) Gill Edwards, Principal Lawyer, Clinical Negligence Investigation For your case to succeed, we have to prove that your injury or condition was the fault of another person. In a case of medical negligence, we have to prove the care provided was so bad that no reasonable doctor would have treated you in that way. We will work with you to gather the evidence to support your claim. This will include taking witness statements, obtaining relevant documents including medical records and instructing independent experts to report. Support during your case We are specialist solicitors who are classed as leaders in our field of law and we are here to provide you with support and guidance throughout your case. In some cases, where we have proved the defendant was at fault, we can obtain financial assistance for you in the form of an interim payment of compensation. Interim payments can help with the cost of private medical treatment such as surgery or counselling and in some cases the money can pay for rehabilitation, adapted accommodation, equipment and professional care. Continued over 07
8 Injury & Negligence Medical cases In addition to helping people who have suffered injury due to poor medical care, we also have expertise in advising families on other health issues, such as obtaining access to medical treatment to your illness or condition; the withdrawal of life support; care in the community and claims under the Human Rights Act. We have taken cases to the Court of Appeal, the House of Lords, the Supreme Court and the European Court of Justice. We strive to help our clients achieve justice and we are not afraid to push legal boundaries. Time limits You must make your claim within 3 years of the date of the negligence or your date of knowledge that you have suffered a significant injury due to the negligence. If you leave it longer than this, you may lose the right to make a claim. Different time limits may apply if the negligence happened abroad. The time limit for bringing a claim under the Human Rights Act is 1 year. The time limits for children do not run until they reach 18 years of age. In cases where a person may lack mental capacity, there is no time limit to bringing a claim.
