General practitioners (GPs) and other healthcare professionals are often our first port of call when we’re unwell. We expect our doctors to be able to diagnose and act on the symptoms of illness. But sometimes these signs are missed, with serious consequences.
Our medical negligence solicitors can help you claim compensation in a range of GP negligence claims, such as:
- Failing to refer you to a specialist
- Failing to refer you for tests
- Not taking your medical history into account
- Not conducting an adequate examination
- Failing to diagnose a condition (for example meningitis or cancer).
Any one of these errors can have a long-term impact on your wellbeing. GPs play such an important role in our health, so it’s vital that the consequences of any mistakes they make are recognised and learned from.
If you’ve been let down by a negligent doctor, we have the expertise and experience to prove that your GP didn’t meet certain standards. If you experienced medical negligence while in hospital or Accident and Emergency, we can also help you to make a claim.
