Making A Stomach Cancer Claim
Making a stomach cancer claim involves proving that medical negligence occurred during your diagnosis or treatment, and you suffered as a result of the negligence. Medical negligence relating to stomach cancer can have serious consequences on a patient’s quality of life whether through a delay, misdiagnosis, failure to treat or prescribing the wrong medical treatment. Whatever your medical negligence relates to, our team of legal experts will work hard to gather evidence, assess your situation and ensure you receive compensation for your suffering.
What Is A Stomach Cancer Claim?
A stomach cancer claim is a legal process that occurs when a patient seeks compensation for suffering that has been caused by medical negligence. This can include cases where symptoms were overlooked, misdiagnosed or there was a delay or mistake in treating the stomach cancer. Compensation for a stomach cancer claim can help to cover costs for any medical bills that may arise due to the negligence, a loss of income and to compensate for any emotional or physical pain caused.
Stomach Cancer Misdiagnosis
One of the more common reasons for stomach cancer claims is misdiagnosis, this is because stomach cancer can be difficult to diagnose due to a lack of early symptoms and similar symptoms of less serious conditions. This can make it difficult to detect stomach cancer in patients and can mean that it is not diagnosed until a later stage, potentially making it more difficult to treat.
If stomach cancer is misdiagnosed, it can have an impact on the effectiveness of the treatment and reduce survival chances for the patient so it is extremely important that it is diagnosed as soon as possible so that patients can undergo treatment straight away if they wish.
Stomach cancer misdiagnosis cases can involve incorrect diagnosis of conditions such as acid reflux, indigestion or ulcers.
If you have experienced any form of misdiagnosis relating to your stomach cancer diagnosis, you may be able to claim for compensation due to any suffering caused.

Stomach cancer can often be misdiagnosed due to the symptoms – symptoms of stomach cancer can often resemble symptoms of less common conditions which patients can get diagnosed with instead of stomach cancer.

Case Study
Sarah's Story
"Now we have peace of mind"
My husband, Nick, went back and forth to the doctors for a long time and tried everything the doctor recommended. But his illness got worse, to the point that he was in agony.
In the end we got so desperate that we asked for a referral. The doctor was reluctant, so we had to consult a private hospital. That’s when we found out there was a tumour. It took years from the onset of his illness to finally start cancer treatment.
He used to be a man with a lot to live for, but in the end he was in so much pain that he withdrew from the family. He became angry that nobody had helped him sooner, and the legal team were able to give him the validation that he was desperately seeking. The NHS confirmed if they had done more, Nick would still be alive today.
