Sadly, it's a situation that happens, and yes, it might be grounds for a claim. Here's why:
- Medical negligence: If your doctor or healthcare provider missed obvious signs, or didn't order the right tests, they may have breached their duty of care.
- The impact of the delay: Did the late diagnosis lead to more invasive treatment, reduced recovery chances, or a worse long-term outlook? This is part of your compensation.
- It's not just about physical harm: The stress and anxiety caused by misdiagnosis can also be compensable.
