Misdiagnosis Claims

When it comes to a medical misdiagnosis, it generally occurs in three different ways:

• When a doctor or any other health care professional fails to identify and diagnose symptoms of a medical condition. 
• When a doctor or any other healthcare professional diagnosis a patient’s illness or condition late, which may lead to prolong suffering or complication. 
• When a doctor or any other medical professional gives an incorrect diagnosis, thereby resulting in medication errors as incorrect medication or inadequate treatment is administered.

Misdiagnosis compensation claims can be made in a wide range of negligent cases. You may be entitled to compensation for misdiagnosis of cancer, misdiagnosis resulting in wrong medication or overdose, or any other condition that has been wrongly diagnosed. Our medical negligence solicitors have worked with victims to bring brain cancer misdiagnosis claims with maximum compensation for their suffering.

How Long Will My Medical Negligence Claims in Leicester Take?

Generally there is no specific processing time for making clinical negligence claims. Some claims could be concluded within a year and others could take as long as three years – depending on the nature and severity of the injury.

In the UK, there is a three-year limit for making medical negligence claims. This time starts from the moment you realize your injury sustained was due to negligence. 

You can trust our medical negligence solicitors at Medical Negligence Direct to support you throughout the duration of your case. Backed by your medical reports and other supporting evidence, our Experts in Leicester will help you build a strong case for your compensation claims or claim against the NHS.

Certain exceptions can be made with time limit for making medical negligence claims, these include: 

• Children – When you want to make a claim on behalf of your child, you can do so anytime before the child turns 18. If you wait until they are 18, they are then eligible to make a claim on their own, and the statutory three-year time also applies here. Which means have the opportunity to make a claim until they are 21. 
• Mental capacity – If a person is mentally incapacitated, there are no time limits to make a claim on behalf of such a person. Mostly if the individuals have a chance at recovery, they can then pursue a claim for themselves after they are recovered.
