Medical Negligence: Misdiagnosis, Diagnostic + Treatment Mistakes

Why you should consider pursuing a claim for misdiagnosis, diagnostic and treatment mistakes.

There are several settings in which diagnostic mistakes or misdiagnosis can occur. For example:

• Your GP fails to diagnose and/or refer a health issue which should have been identified by a competent medical professional.
• Administration mistakes, such as not sending out appointment letters, failing to contact a patient for reviews/appointments or filing test results before they have been reviewed.
• You are treated with the incorrect medications which caused you to suffer for longer or your symptoms to worsen.

There is a broad range of ways in which misdiagnosis, diagnostic and treatment effects can occur which is why we are proud to offer a free initial no obligation meeting in a way that suits you, by telephone, email, video call or face to face, to discuss what happened to you and whether you have a claim.

We fight for answers, justice and compensation.

Our healthcare system is a fantastic thing whether Private or NHS. However clinical practitioners (GP’s, a hospital consultant, or a surgeon) still owe a duty of care to the patients that they treat.

When the standard of care falters and an accident happens, it can often be difficult to get a clear answer as to what went wrong, why it went wrong and what has been put in place to prevent history repeating itself.

Suffering through a misdiagnosis and enduring the potential damage of receiving the incorrect medicines, incorrect surgery or no treatment at all can have a significant impact on your physical and mental health.

Our robust and tenacious team of medical negligence solicitors act for you, to find the answers to your questions, provide access to leading oncology professionals, access to alternative treatments and therapies that may not be available on the NHS and financial compensation.

Are there any upfront fees to make a claim?

We run our medical negligence claims on a Conditional Fee Agreement, more commonly known as a ‘No win, no fee’ agreement.

What this means is that we will run the claim for you. We deduct a small fee from your settlement compensation to meet our fees and expenses (which is a capped fee) if your claim is successful.

This provides complete cost transparency and comfort at a time where a medical mistake may have left you struggling financially.
