GP negligence is a common form of medical negligence. It can be difficult to prove, though, and it can take years before you make any progress on your claim. You must be able to prove that your doctor was at fault in order for it to be accepted by the courts.
It takes years to make a claim for GP negligenceIt’s not uncommon for patients to wait a very long time before they get any compensation for GP negligence. This is because the NHS has a backlog of cases, and it can take years for them to be resolved.
The NHS has an obligation to make payments on a timely basis, but there have been accusations that it hasn’t done enough in order to reduce this backlog.
