GP Negligence Claims Leeds 

 
General Practitioner or GP negligence, can have a devastating effect on your physical, and sometimes mental health. A failure to diagnose a condition, refer to a specialist or errors in treatment can lead to a successful claim for compensation. 
 
When is a GP Negligent? 
 
If the care you receive falls below a reasonably competent standard and this results in injury then the GP may be found to have been negligent. 
 
Examples of negligence can include: 
• Failure to make a diagnosis 
• Incorrect diagnosis 
• Failure to refer for tests 
• Inadequate examination or procedures 
• Received the wrong treatment 
• Not referring to a specialist or hospital 
• Medical history not being taken into account 
• Misinterpretation of results 
• Failure to provide the correct medication 
• Failure in follow-up 
 
These errors can have a lasting effect on your health and it is important that the consequences of any negligence are recognised and dealt with. Compensation can help relieve any financial pressures you might be under, as well as providing help with long term care and rehabilitation. 
 
No Win No Fee Scheme 
 
Can I make a claim under a No Win No Fee? In most cases yes if it is felt that you have a strong case. This would mean that even if your case were to be unsuccessful then you would pay nothing. 
 
How soon do I need to make a claim? 
 
Usually, a GP negligence claim should be made within three years from when the negligence occurred or from when you were first aware that you have suffered an injury or illness as a result of negligence. Speak with us to discuss full details of any time limits.
