There a number of patients in the United Kingdom who have received the wrong medical advice and treatment from their GP and community caregivers. Such affected patients lose faith with their long term GP care giver and look for an alternative. They can claim compensation for the wrong diagnoses and treatment provided by the GP caregiver. These claims fall under the category of personal injury medical negligence compensation claims. The affected patient has to make the compensation claim within a specific time period. The solicitor experienced in handling cases related to general practitioner medical or clinical negligence resulting in personal injury will be able to guide the affected patient in a timely manner.

Usually the accident solicitors would advise the affected patients to talk to their GP caregiver and find out the reason for the faulty treatment given. If the affected patient is not able to get the problem resolved, the solicitors experienced in handling personal injury claims would advise the client to go for a formal compliant. In order to make a compliant against the GP, the affected patient has to contact the practice manager. For complaining about a hospital, the patients or their family members need to establish contact with the complaints manager. As the GP caregiver will have the help of an experienced solicitor, the affected patient need to also go for an experienced personal injury solicitor. These experienced accident solicitors have helped a large number of affected parties to get their compensation claims.

The delay in diagnoses or wrong diagnoses has often resulted in the patient suffering badly. In one such case, a woman was admitted to a hospital for the injuries suffered in a fall. A nurse and a doctor examined her and despite the presence of three fractures in the radial portion of head, distal radius and the thumb portion the doctor failed to identify the fracture. The GP caregiver also didn’t advise the affected person to go for X-ray scanning. By the time the fractures were identified, the situation had gotten out of control and the patient’s injury problems worsened. She couldn’t get out of her bed for the next two months. The affected patient was not able to do even daily house hold tasks such as knitting and driving. She couldn’t go for work and was on loss of pay. The patient then took the help of a renowned clinical negligence solicitor and got compensation worth 110,000 pounds for the clinical negligence shown by the GP caregiver and the nurses employed with the clinic.
