GP Negligence

Overview

If you’re feeling unwell or have started to develop symptoms that you suspect may need medical attention, you will likely make an appointment with your GP to start the process of getting a diagnosis.

If your GP fails to properly investigate and diagnose your illness, or refer you to a specialist for further assessments, this can lead to devastating consequences.

If you believe that you have suffered unnecessarily, or that an existing illness has progressed and worsened due to the medical negligence of your GP, you could be eligible to make a claim.

At United Solicitors we have a team of lawyers who specialise in medical negligence claims.

We operate on a No Win, No Fee basis, meaning that there no upfront costs to you. We offer a free initial, no-obligation assessment of your case.

What is classed as GP Negligence?

The impact of a GP making a mistake or failing to properly investigate and diagnose an illness or injury can lead to physical, emotional and financial consequences for the person involved.

It may be possible to make a compensation claim against your GP, or the Healthcare Trust they work for if they failed to:

• Properly investigate your symptoms.
• Diagnose your illness or injury.
• Refer you to a specialist for further tests.
• Prescribe the right medication or treatment.
• Consider your medical history.
• Conduct a proper examination.

How much compensation will I receive?

There is no hard and fast rule for what your claim may be worth. It depends on the nature and severity of the negligence, and how it has impacted the individual.
