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.

Making a GP Negligence Compensation Claim

If your life, or that of a loved one, has been impacted by GP negligence, you may be reluctant to make a claim due to loyalty and concerns about future treatment. However, GP negligence can have a devastating impact on quality of life, which can require care and financial support.

We may be able to assist you with your GP negligence claim on a no win, no fee basis giving you the reassurance that you will not have to pay anything if the claim is unsuccessful. Our team of medical negligence specialists will be happy to discuss your funding options in detail.

GP negligence claims must be brought within 3 years of the date of the alleged negligence or from the date on which you first knew or suspected that you were injured as a result of the alleged negligence.

There are limited exceptions to this rule for claims involving children and protected parties as well as claims brought on behalf of an estate.

Our team of clinical negligence specialists can advise you further on the applicable limitation date when discussing your claim.
