What level of injury must I have suffered?

Medical Negligence claims must satisfy an injury limit of £5000 in order for a solicitor to be able to run a claim. If you are unsure as to the extent of the injury, and how much this will equate to, we will be able to give you a comprehensive figure.
If we are unable to we will arrange for one of our solicitors to speak to you to discuss your claim at greater length.

Can I claim against my GP?

Claiming against your GP can always be worrying. However your GP, if s/he has performed treatment/prognosis which has left you injured you would still be able to seek compensation. In no circumstances would this prevent you from receiving medical treatment.
