Our General practice (GP) negligence claims expertise
General practice claims arise out of medical negligence on the
part of a general practitioner (GP). Our medical negligence team
has successfully pursued cases against GPs for negligence. Whilst
rare, GP negligence can be just as costly and cause serious
injuries as any other type of medical negligence.
Some of the most common reasons for
GP negligence claims include:
- Failure to investigate
symptoms
- Failure to refer to a
specialist
- Failure to attend on a home
visit
- Failure to act on test
results
- Poor record keeping
- Inappropriate prescribing of drugs or
failure to review medication
Many people feel that they aren't able to pursue a claim against
their GP either through loyalty or because of difficulties in
registering with a new GP, who will not know your medical
history.
But a victim of GP Negligence is just as likely to require
the care and assistance or financial recompense as a victim of
hospital negligence.
