We place enormous trust in our medical advisers but sometimes they can miss or give us the wrong diagnosis for a medical condition. The effects of misdiagnosis can be devastating and sadly on occasions, even fatal. For free initial advice and to discuss your potential clinical negligence claim call us on 0845 144 1441.
Misdiagnosis can happen in a wide range of circumstances. It can occur in cases where you are diagnosed with suffering from a particular condition that you do not have. Sometimes you can be incorrectly prescribed drugs and administered treatment that can have harmful or ill-fated effects.
You can also suffer enormous psychological problems coming to terms with a life threatening condition that you have been wrongly diagnosed with. If you have been misdiagnosed and this has caused you to suffer harm or prevented you from undergoing necessary treatment then you may be able to make a claim for compensation.
At Stephensons, our clinical negligence team have a wealth of experience in successfully pursuing such claims on behalf of our clients.
