GP Negligence Claims
A GP (General Practitioner) is often the first point of contact for patients in the NHS or private healthcare. If a GP fails to provide the right standard of care, the consequences can be serious — including delayed diagnosis, wrong treatment, or preventable complications.
If you have been harmed because of a GP’s negligence, you may be entitled to claim compensation with LITKRAFT.
Who Can Claim?
You may be able to bring a GP negligence claim if you were:
• A patient harmed by delayed or incorrect treatment from your GP
• A parent making a claim on behalf of your child
• A family member pursuing a claim after the loss of a loved one due to GP negligence

Types of GP Negligence Claims We Handle
Misdiagnosis Claims
If a GP misdiagnoses your condition, it may delay essential treatment or lead to harmful, unnecessary medication. This can worsen your illness or cause long-term complications.
Diabetes Negligence Claims
GPs play a vital role in diagnosing and managing diabetes. Negligence — such as failure to diagnose, poor monitoring, or missed complications — can result in serious injury, amputations, or even life-threatening emergencies.
Medication Error Claims
Mistakes in prescribing medication, incorrect dosages, or harmful drug interactions can have devastating consequences. If you have suffered from a prescription error, you may have grounds for a claim.
Missed or Delayed Referrals
When GPs fail to refer patients for specialist tests or hospital care quickly enough, conditions like cancer, stroke, or heart disease can go undetected until it is too late. Delayed referrals are one of the most common causes of GP negligence claims.
What You Can Claim For
• Physical pain, suffering, and loss of quality of life
• Psychological harm and trauma
• Medical treatment, rehabilitation, and ongoing care
• Loss of income and reduced earning capacity
• Care and support provided by family
• Travel and other out-of-pocket expenses
How Much Compensation Could You Get?
The amount depends on:
• The severity and long-term effects of your injury
• Medical evidence and recovery outlook
• Financial losses, including lost earnings
• Impact on your independence and daily life
• Costs of future treatment and care
Our solicitors use medical reports, financial records, and the Judicial College Guidelines (JCG) to calculate a fair settlement.

I am very impressed with the service provided. Thanks to LITKRAFT assistant I was able to prove my innocence. Third party was denying the damages suffered, but we never gave up, resulting in a settlement of compensation that I was really happy with.
If you had an accident – immediately call LITKRAFT. They are true professionals and it really shows, as they can tell you straight away if you have a case. When I had another accident I emailed all details to them and they called me back within 20 min.
Great company, fantastic staff who are just a phone call away to help. They were very patient in explaining every document received from solicitors or doctors. When we first started the claims process, the other party tried to deny liability, but LITKRAFT solicitor fought my case in court and won it. I was delighted with the process and I couldn’t have asked for anything more from LITKRAFT.
