Medical negligence
Q: I went to a hospital to have a medical check-up as I had a weird feeling, they ran the tests and they told me that I am fine and nothing is wrong and that I am cancer free. A year later, I went to the same hospital as I have been informed by another hospital that I may have breast cancer, they ran the tests again and they said it is a benign tumor. However, when I traveled back to the US and had another check-up I was informed that the tumor is malignant. I had to go through surgery and chemotherapy and be absent from work for a long time to get the treatment. I was also informed that if I had known about it the first time I was diagnosed, there would have been a better chance to cure it at early stages. Can I claim for compensation from the hospital for negligence and how much can I claim for?Apr 26, 2016
