GP Negligence Claims

GP Negligence Claims

neral practitioners (GPs) are often the first point of contact for medical care in the UK. When a GP provides negligent care, it can lead to severe health complications, misdiagnosis, or even life-threatening situations. If you’ve suffered due to GP negligence, you may be entitled to make a compensation claim.

What is a GP Negligence Claim?

A GP negligence claim arises when a general practitioner’s actions or omissions lead to injury or harm. This can include failure to diagnose a condition, incorrect treatment, or providing inadequate care. Negligence can happen in various ways, from misdiagnosing an illness to administering the wrong medication.

Common Causes of GP Negligence

  • Failure to Diagnose or Misdiagnosis: A GP may fail to properly diagnose a medical condition such as cancer, diabetes, or infections, leading to delayed or incorrect treatment.
  • Medication Errors: Incorrect prescriptions, drug interactions, or dosage mistakes can cause serious harm, including allergic reactions or worsened conditions.
  • Failure to Refer: If a GP fails to refer a patient to a specialist when necessary, it may result in further complications or delayed treatment.
  • Negligent Advice or Care: A GP’s failure to provide proper advice regarding managing an illness or injury can lead to worsening of the condition.
