Negligence By A GP

When you are not feeling well, a GP is the first person you might see. You might count on him or her to diagnose your condition effectively. A GP has the responsibility to either diagnose and treat you, or transfer you for diagnostics tests or send you to see a specialist as you may need specialist treatment. Failure to do this could mean your condition could worsen over time. Being prescribed the wrong medication or incorrect dose could have adverse effects on your health.

Negligence By A Dentist

A dentist along with a dental nurse and hygienist all have a duty of care to provide the patient with safe treatment. Failure to provide a service that does not cause harm could be the basis for a dental negligence claim. Examples of dental negligence could include but are not exclusive to;

  • Extraction of wrong tooth.
  • Damage to healthy teeth.
  • Misdiagnosing gum disease and a patient loosing teeth.

Negligent Cancer Care Or Misdiagnosis

This could be that incorrect cancer treatment has been given or it could be that cancer symptoms have not been diagnosed properly. Treating cancer at the earliest possible point is vital in most cases to stop the illness from spreading. Not treating the cancer could mean it is allowed to grow and possibly spread making it more difficult to treat and in some cases untreatable.

If you have experienced misdiagnosis of cancer or negligent cancer treatment that has made you more ill you could call our panel of expert medical negligence solicitor for advice
