How Much Compensation for a Misdiagnosis?

There are multiple different health issues that can lead to claims for compensation due to Misdiagnosis.

 

Broken bones and cancer tend to be the most common issues that are misdiagnoses. Although, it is not limited to these two as there are so many conditions that are misdiagnosed by medical professionals.  

 

Misdiagnosis can be detrimental as it can worsen the original health issue as the required help is not being given. It can lead to temporary or permanent health implications, along with impacting employment and in some cases, can be fatal.

TYPES OF MISDIAGNOSIS CLAIMS

  • During a medical test a doctor may miss symptoms  
  • A doctor may misinterpret results 
  • Some people may be receiving a full treatment programme for an illness they do not actually have because they have been wrongly diagnosed 
  • Some diseases cause other diseases. It is important that the underlying disease is treated and not the symptom that has been mistaken for a disease. 
  • Incorrect prescribing of medication can cause problems and long-term use of some drugs can cause serious health problems. 
  • There could have been a delay in you receiving a referral to a specialist 
  • A slow or late response to test results during an illness where time is of the essence to help secure a full recovery
