GP Negligence Claims

GP Negligence Claims

General practitioners are at the forefront of providing medical care to the public. Unfortunately, GPs can make mistakes which have devastating consequences.

As the first port of call, much reliance is placed on GPs to make the correct diagnosis or, if they are not able to treat the patient, refer the patient for relevant treatment to ensure the condition is diagnosed and treated as soon as possible. Failure or delay in doing so can result of catastrophic outcomes, be lifelong injuries or, death.
