How Much Compensation Can I Claim for cancer misdiagnosis?
As with most medical negligence cases, provided that the 4 D’s of medical negligence can be established, you have the right to compensation.
But when it comes to medical negligence claims, compensation amounts are usually not set in stone.
Cancer misdiagnosis settlements awarded to victims of cancer negligence or cancer misdiagnosis vary based on the nature and severity of the cancer case. In addition to payment for pain and suffering, as part of your cancer misdiagnosis settlement, you can also receive medical negligence cancer payouts for special damages. This usually covers for loss of earnings, costs of additional medical treatment (from specialists) and transport costs.
According to the Judicial College Guidelines, estimated figures for medical negligence claims related to death (following misdiagnosis) range from £11,770 to £22,350.
