Misdiagnosis Compensation Claims
Misdiagnosis compensation claims require a specialist medical negligence Lawyer.
Misdiagnosis compensation claims are complex. When an illness is left untreated or misdiagnosed the consequences can be severe.
Misdiagnosis Compensation claims will fall into one of two categories: no diagnosis or a delay in diagnosis.
In order to bring a claim for medical misdiagnosis you must be able to show that the outcome (on the balance of probabilities) would have been different if you had been correctly diagnosed.
Misdiagnosis compensation claims often fail because it is not possible to prove that the delay has made any difference to the treatment or the prognosis. That is, irrespective of the negligence, the outcome would have been the same.

- Meningitis.
