If you’ve suffered an injury – whether it’s physical or psychological – and that injury was a result of a substandard care from a medical professional’s negligence, you could be entitled to claim compensation for medical negligence.
If you’re claiming compensation for medical negligence by a GP in England or Wales, it must be proved that the standard of care you received fell below what you’d expect from a reasonably competent health professional, and that you were injured as a result.
GPs and doctors will often only have a short period of time in which to examine patients who attend their medical practice. This means that it’s not always possible to take a detailed medical history and fully appreciate the patient’s concerns.
Call us on 0808 239 6043 or make an enquiry. We’ll talk through your situation and quickly tell you if you have a strong claim.
It could help your claim to make a formal complaint to the NHS. We’ll help you make that complaint and review any outcome.
A specialist Medical Expert will review your treatment and tell us if they think your treatment was negligent.
Making a medical negligence claim can be daunting, but we’ll help you all the way through. You’ll get regular updates and information. We’ll do all we can to make the process as stress-free as possible for you.
If the GP has accepted responsibility, we can apply for an interim payment. That means you don’t have to wait until the case settles to get vital financial support.
We’ll negotiate a final settlement as quickly as we can. Whilst we work closely with NHS Resolution to settle claims early and amicably, that doesn’t mean we won’t push if we don’t think they’re offering the right settlement. We’ll guide you through the Court process if your claim doesn’t settle before trial, but this doesn’t happen often.
If you’re unhappy with the standard of care you received from a GP or doctor, you can claim for your pain and suffering, any specialist care you need that’s not available on the NHS and any lost earnings because of the negligence, now and in the future if you can’t work anymore.
You can also make a claim for any adaptions you need to your home because of your illness or injury, any medical expenses such as prescription fees, private treatment or rehabilitation and the travel costs associated with getting to medical appointments.
You can claim compensation if a loved one died because of negligence by a doctor.
You have three years from the date of your injury to make a claim, or three years from the date you became aware of a problem.
If the person affected by GP negligence is under 18, you can claim on their behalf until they turn 18, after which point the three-year time limit will apply to them.
We often handle medical negligence claims on a No Win, No Fee basis (also known as a Conditional Fee Agreement). We can discuss different funding options in detail during your free claims assessment.
