A failure to be referred for treatment or more investigation is one of the common types of medical negligence claims<\/a> we help people with here at The Injury Lawyers. Our team of medical negligence lawyers are used to fighting for the rights of victims who have suffered complications or further undue suffering because their GP has not referred them in time, or not referred them at all.<\/p>\n

So, if your GP has not referred you for further treatment or investigation, and this has ended up with you suffering a medical negligence, we can help you make a clam for medical negligence compensation.
\n<\/p>\n

Can I claim if my GP won\u2019t refer me?<\/h2>\n

If your GP wont refer wont refer you and this has resulted in you suffering complications, or suffering unnecessarily, then you may have a claim to make. If you discover that you could, and should, have been referred at an earlier stage, and the fact that you weren\u2019t referred has led to problems, you may have a winning claim.<\/p>\n

In any medical negligence case we typically have to prove two things: breach of duty, and medical causation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Breach of duty is to show that you were not referred in time, or at all, when you should<\/em><\/span> have been. If our privately instructed expert says that you should have been referred then that can help to prove the breach of duty side.<\/p>\n

For medical causation, this is to show that the breach of duty (i.e. the failure to refer you) resulted in you suffering. Typically this is, as referenced above, further undue suffering and\/or complications. For example, if you suffer six months longer because the GP didn\u2019t refer you until then, or at all, and you went on to have the treatment you needed, you may have a claim for six months of unnecessary suffering. Or, if the condition or injury worsens because it hasn\u2019t been dealt with in time, you can claim for whatever this does to you.<\/p>\n

GP refer help claim advice<\/h3>\n
