GP Negligence: Understanding Your Rights
Your GP is often the first person you turn to when something is wrong. If symptoms were overlooked, treatment was delayed or you were injured during care, it is understandable to want answers. Medical Negligence Consultants can listen to your concerns and introduce suitable cases to experienced medical negligence solicitors.
When might GP care be negligent?
Examples include unreasonable delays in referral, failure to investigate concerning symptoms, prescribing mistakes, and avoidable injuries during treatment at a GP practice. Not every mistake or unexpected outcome establishes negligence: a claim normally requires evidence that care fell below an acceptable standard and caused additional harm.
