Bowel cancer is often difficult to spot. Its symptoms are often similar to other conditions, like Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).
To make a claim for misdiagnosed bowel cancer, we need to show that medical negligence played a part.
Negligence could include;
- Your doctor failing to refer you to a specialist for further investigation
- A doctor failing to provide an accurate diagnosis
- The misinterpretation of tests, scans, or colonoscopies
- Admin errors and the failure to provide follow up appointments
- Your doctor making an error during invasive treatment
- The prescription of incorrect medication
- Your doctor wrongly giving you the all-clear

How Much Compensation Can I Claim For Misdiagnosed Bowel Cancer?
The amount you can claim will depend on your specific case.
When assessing how much compensation you are entitled to, we will consider;
- How long your cancer went undiagnosed
- How much pain and suffering you have endured
- If you have lost bowel function
- Loss of earnings
- Any specialist care you might need
- Out of pocket expenses
- Whether the misdiagnosis contributed to the death of a loved one
How Long Do Claims Take?
How long it takes to settle you claim will depend on the complexity and severity of your case.
We need to fully understand the consequences of your misdiagnosis. If we settle too early, it could mean your claim is undervalued.
If the other side accepts liability at an early stage, we could claim interim compensation payments. These payments help to cover the cost of specialist care and treatment.
