Large Compensation for Delayed Laryngeal Cancer Diagnosis
21 Sep 2023 | Jodi Newton
Actress receives financial award after life-changing missed cancer diagnosis.
Jodi Newton acted for a client who was belatedly diagnosed with laryngeal cancer. She was an actress and director, and her career depended on using her voice. She now relies on a remote control device to speak, and while she survived stage 3 cancer, she suffered life-changing injuries and underwent multiple invasive surgical procedures.
This was a complex claim, and following commencing court proceedings, a settlement was negotiated for over £300,000.
If you or your family have been affected by the late diagnosis or misdiagnosis of laryngeal cancer, our team of expert cancer misdiagnosis lawyers can help you pursue a compensation claim. Jodi mentioned that action against misdiagnoses is crucial, and that she is happy to be able to help wherever she can.
