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.

I can’t recommend Matthew Garling and the team at Garling & Co highly enough. Matthew represented me through what was a very complex and lengthy personal injury matter, and throughout the entire... process I always felt that I had someone experienced, knowledgeable and genuinely committed to achieving the best possible outcome for me.One thing I really appreciated was Matthew’s support during the most stressful periods of the matter. Whenever I was overwhelmed or overthinking where things were heading, Matthew would make the time to call me, talk me through the situation, settle my thoughts and put me back on the right path. That personal support made a very difficult process much easier to manage.Matthew was always straightforward with his advice, took the time to explain the important issues and was never afraid to have the difficult conversations when they were needed. His experience in personal injury law was obvious, particularly when dealing with the more complicated aspects of my matter.After a number stressful years, I’m extremely grateful for the work Matthew and his team put in and for the outcome they ultimately achieved for me.I have no hesitation recommending Matthew Garling and the Garling & Co team to anyone needing an experienced and supportive personal injury lawyer.read more

Words can't explain how immensely grateful I am to have had Matthew and Allison assist me throughout this claim. I believe I was awarded exactly the compensation I was meant to receive and couldn't... be happier with the outcome. Matthew is a man who seeks justice for the average person - he never asserts himself, even for a moment, to be anything but a man who wishes to seek, serve and defend truth. He is extremely gracious in his speech, countenance, and should be recognised throughout life for these things and more. I highly recommend Matthew Garling and the entire team at Garling and Co - don't bother looking elsewhere.read more

I engaged Garling & Co to guide me through a personal injury claim and could not have asked for better representation. Matthew was in a different class to the other lawyers I had spoken to, and that... was clear from our very first phone call. At that time, I was not even sure a claim would go ahead. It was just a call for advice and Matthew was generous with his time which created immediate trust.My options were always explained clearly and the decision was always left with me with no pressure to follow a particular course of action. Allison and the rest of Matthew's team are equally excellent and were on hand throughout, taking me through the process and passing on information at the right time.No hesitation in recommending them to anyone looking for the best advice in NSW.read more

No matter how scrambled or anxious my mind was feeling, they always found the time to answer my frantic check-ins and left me feeling completely reassured and safe.What I respect most about them is their absolute integrity.Kerry has a brilliant legal mind specialising in personal injury,and only ever sticks strictly to the real facts and let the honest, medical truth do the talking.Thank you Kerry and Myriel.❣️read more

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.
