GP negligence, also known as general practitioner negligence, occurs when a GP fails to provide adequate medical care to a patient, resulting in harm or injury to the patient. GP negligence can occur in many different ways, such as misdiagnosis, failure to diagnose, or delayed diagnosis of a medical condition.
Examples of GP negligence include failing to refer a patient to a specialist when necessary, prescribing the wrong medication or dosage, failing to recognize the symptoms of a serious illness or disease, or providing substandard medical care that results in injury or harm to the patient.
Patients who have suffered harm due to GP negligence may be entitled to compensation for their injuries. This may include compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.
