Or if the failure to diagnose something hasn\u2019t actually caused any further suffering, there may not be an official injury as a result of the negligence to claim for.<\/p>\n<p><span

compensation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The first steps you should take if you feel that the doctor\u2019s negligence has caused your injuries would be to write a letter of complaint to the surgery\/ hospital in question, detailing what you feel has been done wrong, what the result of this is, and requesting the matter is investigated and you are provided with an outcome.<\/p>\n<p>The response to the letter of complaint, whatever the outcome, can be used as evidence to support a claim for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theinjurylawyers.co.uk\/medical-negligence-claims.php\">medical negligence<\/a> and
