GP Negligence Claims

If you or a loved one have suffered pain, injury, or illness because of GP negligence, you may be entitled to make a GP negligence claim. Our specialist medical negligence solicitors are here to support you through this difficult time and help you get the answers, apology, and compensation you deserve.

Your GP will be your main point of contact for your healthcare needs, their role is to diagnose and treat your condition where that can be done in the community. When necessary, the GP will also make referrals to specialists for further investigations, diagnosis, and treatment.

However, like all healthcare professionals, GPs can make mistakes which can have serious consequences for a patient.

If you have received a poor standard of care from your GP, which has caused you pain, injury, or illness then you may be entitled to claim compensation.
