The phrase ‘cancer misdiagnosis claims’ has become used to describe claims not just for the misdiagnosis of cancer. It is also the term often used when people make medical negligence claims because the wrong cancer treatment has been applied, or as a result of a diagnosis of cancer being made later than it should have been i.e. because chances to spot the symptoms of cancer were previously missed by a medical professional on at least one occasion.

The death of a loved one is probably the most traumatic, harrowing experience any human being will experience in their lifetime. Not only is there a period of unimaginable grief, suffering and uncontrollable feelings of sadness and loss to go through, but in addition there are a wealth of practicalities that have to be dealt with – a funeral to be arranged, finances to be sorted out, fellow grieving relatives who need supporting and potentially, sales of property and effects to be dealt with.
