Misdiagnosis and
Delayed Diagnosis

Doctors are only human – sometimes they make mistakes that delay correct diagnosis or involve misdiagnosis.

For example, a prolonged misdiagnosis by a GP may delay vital cancer treatment. This can greatly impact your chances of recovery or mean that your symptoms worsen, thus increasing your stress levels.

Or diagnostic errors in an A&E department may prevent referral to the right specialist and seriously affect your chances of recovery. All this at a time when you, and those close to you, may already be struggling to come to terms with your situation.

A medical negligence claim may be justified if you have experienced poor treatment or lack of treatment which has added further injury, pain or suffering. The team at Attwaters Solicitors are experts in misdiagnosis claims – we are here to ensure you get the help and compensation you need.

You can trust us to work for you. But don’t take our word for it – take a look at our many successful claims.

Attwaters Medical Negligence solicitors are here for you.

We pledge to provide you with outstanding personal service and communication, unrivalled industry knowledge and a proven track record of successfully achieving compensation for clients who have made claims resulting from misdiagnosis or a delayed diagnosis.

Whenever possible we seek to obtain an interim payment from the responsible party’s insurers to assist with any financial hardship you have been caused and to pay for treatment privately.

If you think you may have grounds for a claim, Attwaters Solicitors will offer you a jargon-free consultation and assessment free of charge. If we agree that your case is sufficiently strong, we will clearly explain the ways in which the costs may be covered, probably on a ‘no win, no fee’ basis, before we start working together to achieve the outcome you deserve.
