Misdiagnosis impact we handle
A wrong diagnosis doesn't just delay treatment. It can shatter your health, your finances, and your mental wellbeing. We handle hospital negligence claims covering all of these consequences.
Your condition progressed while doctors treated you for something else entirely. The delay turned a treatable illness into something far more serious.
Surgery, medication, or therapy you never needed, all because of a wrong diagnosis. The side effects and recovery time were completely avoidable.
Anxiety, depression, and sleepless nights. 72% of medical negligence victims develop mental health problems. Your suffering deserves compensation.
Lost earnings, private treatment costs, and ongoing care expenses. A misdiagnosis doesn't just affect your health, it hits your finances hard.
Conditions that could have been treated early may now cause lasting pain or permanent disability. The damage from delayed treatment is often irreversible.
Months or years longer in treatment than necessary. The missed diagnosis stole your best chance at a quick recovery and getting back to normal life.
1 If your claim succeeds, a success fee of 42% incl. VAT will be charged. If you cancel after the 14-day cancellation period, a cancellation fee may apply.

Common questions
Everything you need to know about making a misdiagnosis claim. Can't find your answer? Call us on 0333 006 8282.
You absolutely can claim if your GP failed to spot your condition when they should have. Whether they missed cancer symptoms, dismissed warning signs, or gave you the wrong treatment entirely, that's medical negligence and you deserve compensation.
We see patients dealing with worsened conditions, unnecessary treatment, and the psychological trauma of a missed diagnosis. None of that should be your burden. Call us on 0333 006 8282. It's No Win, No Fee¹.
Yes, you can claim if a healthcare professional got your diagnosis wrong and it caused you harm. This includes completely missing your condition, giving you the wrong treatment, or dangerous delays in spotting serious illnesses. Call us on 0333 006 8282 and we'll talk you through the next step.
Compensation depends on how the diagnostic error affected your health, recovery time, and mental wellbeing. Minor cases may receive £1,000–£3,710, while severe cases involving delayed cancer diagnosis or permanent disability can be worth significantly more. You can also claim for medical costs, lost earnings, and care needs.
Absolutely. Every NHS Trust pays into an insurance scheme managed by NHS Resolution, specifically for NHS negligence compensation claims like yours. Your compensation doesn't come from ward budgets, it comes from this dedicated fund. Making a claim won't affect anyone else's treatment.
It's completely illegal for any doctor or hospital to refuse your treatment because you're claiming against them. Your right to healthcare is protected by law, and making a compensation claim won't affect your ongoing medical care in any way.
You have three years to start your claim, but the clock starts ticking from when you discovered the correct diagnosis, not when the mistake happened. Don't wait though. Medical records get harder to obtain and witnesses forget details as time passes.
Medical misdiagnosis is more common than most people realise. NHS Resolution handles thousands of clinical negligence claims each year, with diagnostic errors among the most frequent. Over 6,500 people contacted us last year after suffering from misdiagnosis and delays.
These numbers highlight why it's so important to claim the compensation you deserve if a healthcare professional got your diagnosis wrong.
