General Practice (GP) Compensation Claims

Talk to a GP negligence solicitor at Tees to find out if you have a compensation claim.

GP medical negligence claims

GPs are the first port of call for most of us when we’re ill. We trust them to look after us or refer for specialist help. In most cases, they provide an excellent service. However, as with all aspects of medical treatment, things can go wrong.

Claiming against your GP or doctor

If you have experienced GP negligence, you might be facing a difficult situation – such as financing care costs or being unable to return to work. A compensation claim can help with your family’s needs, finances and care, so you can focus on getting better. 

We understand that bringing a claim against your GP might feel daunting and stressful, on top of the medical issue you are facing. We know this is a hard time – so we’ll do everything we can to make it easier.

No win, no fee

We work on a no win, no fee basis, so there’s no need to worry about costs. Plus, our specialist solicitors provide an initial free assessment of your claim.

We could not fault the service provided by the whole team at Tees. Responsive, supportive and extremely professional throughout. The success in the case and the justice achieved was what we wanted.

Examples of GP medical negligence claims

Usually cases are brought against a GP because they:

  • did not take a proper history from you
  • did not properly examine you
  • did not properly investigate your symptoms 
  • failed to diagnose your condition correctly (misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis)
  • did not provide the right treatment or prescribed the wrong medication 
  • failed to refer you to a specialist when referral was indicated
  • failed to take adequate precautions to prevent further infection 
  • did not provide any ‘safety-net’ advice, for example, that you should return if things did not improve or if your condition worsened.

How a compensation claim can help

GP negligence can have life-changing consequences and you might need specialist care or treatment as a result of what’s happened. A compensation claim can help you move forward, get the right treatment and provide financial security for the future.
