If you have been misdiagnosed – whether you have been told an incorrect diagnosis or you have not been diagnosed properly – you may have a claim for personal injury compensation.

That being said, if you have been misdiagnosed, you are not automatically entitled to compensation. We must prove that the misdiagnosis has been caused by a failure to properly investigate your symptoms or refer you to a professional in the right field if necessary. Here’s some more info on how it works.

Whilst on my way to the polling station for EU and local elections earlier today, I heard on the radio that an investigation has revealed that the NHS are discharging patients in the middle of the night. Now, if those patients are escorted and fully able and ready to be discharged, I suppose it’s not really a problem. But investigations have revealed that some patients are simply being discharged dangerously early – which has to stop!

Medical negligence claims are inherently hard to win. The line between what is accepted as an ‘inherent risk’ or an ‘unavoidable scenario’ and negligent care can be thin. Most surgical procedures carry with them inherent risks, and some injuries and conditions are not easy to identify as quickly as we might hope.

But when it comes to waiting for care or waiting for a diagnosis, what is classed as too long? When delays result in complications or problems, what can be done?

We can sometimes offer 100% compensation for medical negligence claims – read up here

Medical negligence claims are often very hard to win. If you have suffered whilst under the care of the NHS, it does not automatically entitle you to compensation for any pain and loss caused. It’s about proving that the duty of care that has been provided was below the expected standard, and that this has caused the suffering.

100% Compensation for Medical Negligence Claims

According to recent sources from the BBC, disgraced surgeon David Jackson who was sacked back in 2007 following a string of complaints spanning potentially decades has caused further anger at being allowed to voluntarily remove himself from the medical register instead of being struck off.

According to sources, Mr Jackson has managed to evade hearings with the General Medical Council citing ill health which has left victims of his negligent practise in further distress at the time it has taken for the GMC to act.

100% compensation for medical negligence claims

When we feel we have a medical problem, our first point of call is, rightly so, our GP. You’d expect to be able to visit your GP and either get the reassurance and advice that you have nothing to worry about and your problem can be easily resolved, or you’d expect a referral to an expert.

We all know that the NHS is stretched, and the waiting times to see GP’s are long; but what we don’t expect is to be let down by our GP’s resulting in further complications or unnecessary suffering.

There can be many hurdles when pursuing a claim for personal injury compensation – the limitation to claim is normally one of them. But victims of gynaecologist Robert Jones known as “The Butcher” who is said to have mistreated thousands of patients at the Royal Cornwall Hospital (RCH – also known as Treliske Hospital) may now be able to access the justice they deserve (Source).

An agreement has been reached with the RCH to lift the three year limitation period which should allow victims that could date back to as early as 1992 to now be in a position to make a claim for personal injury compensation. The agreed protocol is said to be a step in the right direction for helping the victims of medical negligence claims currently being made against the RCH.

Our specialist medical negligence team here at The Injury Lawyers represent countless victims of clinical negligence all on a 100% compensation AND No Win, No Fee basis.
