We Specialise In Lung Cancer Negligence Compensation Claims

According to the Cancer Council, lung cancer is the leading cause of death from cancer in Australia. Unfortunately, there is no routine screening available for lung cancer in Australia. Common symptoms of lung cancer include shortness of breath, chest pain, a persistent cough, voice changes, unexplained weight loss and feeling tired. If you develop symptoms of lung cancer, you should seek medical advice from your GP. Your GP is likely to refer you for investigations including a chest x-ray or a CT scan. Your GP may also refer you for a biopsy if it is clinically indicated. A referral to a specialist respiratory physician may also be required. 

Unfortunately, lung cancer symptoms may be mistaken by some doctors for asthma or other common respiratory conditions or chest infections. If your doctor has been treating you for a presumed chest infection for several months yet your symptoms are not improving, or are becoming worse, radiological investigations may be necessary. 

Generally, diagnosis of early-stage cancer is usually associated with better outcomes after completing the appropriate treatment. A delayed diagnosis of cancer could have a profound effect on quality of life and could significantly reduce life expectancy.

Types of Claims for Lung Cancer Negligence: 

  • Delayed Diagnosis or Misdiagnosis of Lung Cancer 
  • Failure to Perform Timely or Appropriate Lung Cancer Investigations
  • Inadequate or Delayed Lung Cancer Treatment 
  • Failure to Properly Monitor and Follow up Lung Cancer Patients 
  • Negligent Management of Lung Cancer Patients’ Medical Records 
  • Negligence in Lung Cancer Surgery or Procedures 
  • Misinterpretation of Lung Cancer Test Results 
  • Failure to Refer Patients to Specialists for Further Evaluation
  • Claims for the patient’s dependants if the patient dies due to lung cancer negligence 
  • Emotional Distress and Psychological Impact Due to Lung Cancer Negligence.

Lung Cancer Claims Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can lung cancer be wrongly diagnosed?

Yes, it is possible for benign lung diseases to be wrongly diagnosed as lung cancer, but this is uncommon given the availability of advanced diagnostic investigations, such as biopsy. 

2. How much compensation for lung cancer?

The value of compensation for lung cancer negligence depends on the nature, extent and severity of the injury, loss or damage suffered as a result of the negligence. Compensation can be awarded for pain and suffering, loss of expectancy of life, medical expenses, personal care, domestic assistance, palliative care and lost earnings. If the lung cancer negligence results in death, dependents of the deceased may be entitled to compensation.

3. Where do I go for support after a diagnosis of Lung Cancer?

Your GP or treating specialist are usually able to organise appropriate support services for you and your family. You may also wish to contact Lung Foundation Australia or the Cancer Council or Cancer Australia to learn about resources that are available to you and your family. If the diagnosis of lung cancer is affecting your mental health, speak with your GP and ask for a mental health plan.
