Our client initially sought medical advice for symptoms later linked to a vitamin B12 deficiency—a condition that is straightforward to diagnose and treat. However, instead of arranging the appropriate investigations, clinicians informed her that she had cancer. This incorrect diagnosis led to months of unnecessary and invasive cancer treatment, including procedures and interventions that carried avoidable risks and caused long?term health consequences.
The emotional impact was equally profound. Believing she had a life?threatening illness caused severe trauma, and the experience of undergoing needless treatment resulted in severe post?traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), significantly affecting her day?to?day life and overall wellbeing.
An early admission of liability was obtained and we secured £94,000 in compensation to reflect the physical injuries, psychological harm, and financial losses our client suffered.
This settlement provides our client with the support that she needs to continue her recovery.
