Do I Have A Misdiagnosis Claim?

If you’ve suffered because of misdiagnosis, our medical misdiagnosis solicitors could help you claim compensation. We have the experience to work out how it happened and who was responsible. Some of the most common errors include a failure to interpret test results accurately, examine you properly, or refer you to a specialist.

Medical misdiagnosis caused my medical negligence falls into three different categories:

Total misdiagnosis where a health condition or illness is not diagnosed following health problems.
Late misdiagnosis, which can impact on recovery time and prolong health issues.
Incorrect diagnosis, which can result in improper medication or treatment being administered.

Medical misdiagnosis or undiagnosed illnesses fall into numerous different categories. These can range from medical negligence caused by cancer misdiagnosis, missed fractures or delayed treatment. Our medical misdiagnosis solicitors can help you pursue a ‘no win no fee’ medical misdiagnosis compensation claim for:

failure to diagnose a fracture
late diagnosis of serious issues, including cancer misdiagnosis
failure to spot illnesses such as meningitis
repeat visits to your GP dismissed, later to reveal a more serious underlying condition
misinterpreted blood tests or investigative surgery leading to incorrect diagnosis
Misdiagnosed heart attack or stroke

We’ll demand answers and apologies from the relevant parties, as well as assurances that the same mistakes won’t be made again.

The majority of our cases are funded on a No Win No Fee basis, at no financial risk to you. We believe in the importance of rehabilitation, which is why we’ll also make sure you get the care and support you need after your misdiagnosis claim has finished.
