GP Negligence Claims

Medical Negligence Solicitors Dublin

General practitioners (GPs) and other healthcare professionals are often our first port of call when we’re unwell. A GP assesses a wide variety of issues and based on their knowledge, skill and experience a patient relies upon them to decide whether it is necessary to refer them for specialist help.  We expect our doctors to be able to diagnose and act on the symptoms of illness, but sometimes these signs are missed, with serious consequences.

Our medical negligence solicitors can help with a range of GP negligence claims, such as:

• Failure to refer urgently, for example in the case of meningitis or cardiac arrest
• Failure to refer to a specialist for investigation or treatment
• Failure to take your medical history into account
• Failure to conduct an adequate examination
• Failure to diagnose a condition
• Inappropriate prescribing

Any one of these errors can have a long-term impact on your wellbeing. GPs play such an important role in our health, so it’s vital that the consequences of any mistakes they make are recognised and learned from.

If you’ve suffered as a result of negligence, we have the expertise and experience to prove that your GP didn’t meet certain standards of care.
