A claim for GP negligence is an action taken by a patient (or their family) against a GP when the treatment and/or lack of treatment falls below the appropriate standard expected by a General Practitioner. For many, GPs are the first line of treatment that is sought. It is imperative that the treatment they provide is appropriate whether that be considering and treating your symptoms, arranging for the appropriate referrals to special care or correctly monitoring your medication. Any failure to act to the appropriate standard can result in serious consequences for their patients.

There is no set time frame for settling such cases as each case is different and the complexities of each case will mean that some cases require more attention and may take longer than other. It can vary from a few months to a couple of years depending on the Defendant’s stance and the circumstances of each individual case.
Each case is different and the extent of the compensation that can be recovered will largely depend on negligent act of the GP and the injury it has caused. We aim to recover sums that will compensate you for the physical and mental suffering you have endured together with the costs of any rehabilitation, loss of earnings for time out of work and any ongoing care and treatment that may be required. This is a non-exhaustive list, and our specialist solicitors will ensure no stone is left unturned.
