Medical Negligence Claims
GP Claims
Like in many clinical negligence cases, claiming for compensation against your General Practitioner when you believe you have suffered as a result of their mistake can be a complex process. At Duncan Gibbins our team of solicitors are highly trained and experienced in GP claims for compensation.
The majority of patients consult their General Practitioner when suffering from minor injuries or non-serious illnesses. However, it is crucial that their job is carried out to the highest standard, as diagnosing injury or illness at the earliest possible opportunity could make a significant difference to your treatment, recovery time and subsequent quality of life.
General Practitioners are professionals who perform an excellent service in a high pressured environment. However they do sometimes make mistakes. If you have suffered injury or illness due to what you believe is a medical mistake you may be entitled to make a claim for personal injury compensation.

A General Practitioner may have acted negligently if they:
