Picking A Solicitor To Help You Claim For Medical Negligence In Shropshire

Medical negligence guidelines state that in order to make a claim for medical negligence compensation, the following must be proven:

  • That there was a medical practitioner – patient relationship existing, therefore the practitioner owed the patient a duty of care.
  • That the duty of care was not upheld because the medical practitioner provided substandard care. This could be a medical mistake or a misdiagnosis of an illness, for example.
  • That the substandard care resulted in the patient’s existing medical condition worsening, or patient becoming injured or ill unnecessarily.

In general, our panel of medical negligence solicitors could handle any sort of claim, as long as you were injured in some way by a medical professional and that this could have been avoided.

We will now go over some medical malpractice FAQs to help you decide what to look for when choosing a solicitor.

The first step to making a medical negligence claim, is to have an assessment by a doctor. Off the back of your assessment, the doctor will create a medical report which will define your injuries, what treatment you will need going forward and what effect you undue injuries are likely to have on your ongoing quality of life.

Most GPs provide a good service to their local community, however, GP malpractice can and does happen. Examples of GP malpractice can include a GP prescribing the wrong dosage of medication, a GP injuring a patient with a needle or a GP misdiagnosing a patient’s condition and prescribing the wrong treatment.

Misdiagnosed Cancer

As you already know, cancer is a disease that spreads and worsens over time. Therefore, if a GP fails to recognise the early signs of cancer and refer the patient to a specialist, or if an oncologist misdiagnoses a patient’s cancer, the patient may have to endure more aggressive forms of treatment such as chemotherapy, which would not have been necessary if the cancer was caught earlier. Unfortunately, misdiagnosis of cancer can cause a patient to die a death that would have been avoidable, had the cancer been caught on time.

If you have experienced misdiagnosed cancer, due to errors made by your GP, oncologist or other medical practitioner, you could be entitled to claim compensation for your injuries.
