When is a Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis Classed as Negligence?
Medical professionals usually do a fantastic job of helping people in their time of need, providing expert advice and treatment to prevent injury or illness and to help with recovery. However, medical professionals, such as GPs and nurses, are not immune from making mistakes and when negligence happens, the results can be devastating. Sometimes ailments either go undiagnosed or are diagnosed incorrectly, which can mean that they are not treated urgently or effectively, and may even get worse.
Mistakes of this type can result in important, potentially life-saving treatment being delayed or not being carried out at all. As such a delayed or missed diagnosis can have a life-changing impact. If this has happened to you or someone you know it is essential that legal assistance is sought to secure a compensation amount that can make an important difference as you continue with your life.
