Did negligence cause your lung cancer? If so, you may be entitled to make a claim for compensation. Lung cancer is a serious disease that can be caused by a variety of factors, including exposure to asbestos, smoking, and air pollution. However, in some cases, lung cancer may be caused by the negligence of another person or entity. Â
What is Negligence?
Negligence is the failure to exercise reasonable care, resulting in harm to another person. In the context of lung cancer, negligence could involve a failure to diagnose the disease in a timely manner, a failure to provide adequate safety equipment to workers exposed to asbestos, or a failure to warn consumers about the dangers of smoking.
How Can Negligence Cause Lung Cancer?
There are a number of ways in which negligence can cause lung cancer. For example, a doctor who fails to diagnose lung cancer in a timely manner may be liable for negligence if the patient’s condition worsens as a result of the delay in diagnosis. Similarly, an employer who fails to provide adequate safety equipment to workers exposed to asbestos may be liable for negligence if those workers develop lung cancer as a result of their exposure.
Who Can Make a Claim for Lung Cancer Caused by Negligence?
Anyone who has been diagnosed with lung cancer that was caused by the negligence of another person or entity may be able to make a claim for compensation. This includes patients who were misdiagnosed or who were not provided with adequate safety equipment.
What Can I Claim for?
If you have been diagnosed with lung cancer that was caused by negligence, you may be able to claim compensation for a variety of losses, including:
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of earnings
- Medical expenses
- Care and assistance
- Loss of enjoyment of life
