GP negligence *Claim
What Is A GP Negligence *Claim?
A GP negligence *claim is a legal action taken by a patient against their General Practitioner (GP) for negligence in the course of medical treatment or care. This type of *claim arises when a patient believes that their GP has failed to provide them with an adequate standard of care, which has caused them harm or injury.
GP negligence *claims can be made for a variety of reasons, including misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of an illness, failure to refer a patient for specialist treatment, prescribing incorrect medication or dosage, and not providing adequate follow-up care.
To make a GP negligence *claim, a patient must show that their GP owed them a duty of care, that the duty of care was breached, and that the breach caused the patient harm or injury. Patients must also demonstrate that the harm or injury suffered was foreseeable and that there was a direct causal link between the GP’s breach of duty and the harm suffered.
If successful, a GP negligence *claim can result in compensation being awarded to the patient to cover the cost of medical expenses, loss of earnings if out of work, and any other losses incurred as a result of the GP’s negligence *. It is important for patients who believe they may have a GP negligence *claim to seek legal advice from a qualified solicitor who specialises in medical negligence cases *.
