What Is a Misdiagnosis Claim?
Have you suffered harm because a medical professional gave you the wrong diagnosis, or failed to diagnose your condition in time? A misdiagnosis claim is the legal process of seeking compensation when avoidable injury, illness, or delayed recovery occurs due to negligent errors in diagnosis.
If you or a loved one have been affected by misdiagnosis in the last three years, LITKRAFT can help you claim compensation and access the support you need to move forward.
Who Can Claim for a Misdiagnosis?
You may be entitled to make a misdiagnosis claim if:
• You were incorrectly diagnosed and given the wrong treatment or medication
• Your condition was not diagnosed early enough, leading to worsening illness
• A loved one passed away due to delayed or missed diagnosis
• You are a parent or guardian making a claim for a child affected by misdiagnosis
Claims can be brought against NHS Trusts, private hospitals, GPs, or other healthcare providers responsible for negligent diagnostic care.

Types of Misdiagnosis Claims We Handle
Cancer Misdiagnosis
Failure to detect cancer early or mistaking it for another illness can delay life-saving treatment and reduce recovery chances.
Stroke Misdiagnosis
If doctors miss the warning signs of a stroke, patients may be left with severe and permanent disabilities.
Fracture Misdiagnosis
Missed or wrongly interpreted fractures on X-rays can cause improper healing, chronic pain, or long-term disability.
Infection & Sepsis Misdiagnosis
Failing to recognise infections such as sepsis or meningitis in time can lead to organ failure, brain damage, or even death.
Heart Attack Misdiagnosis
Confusing heart attack symptoms with less serious conditions may prevent patients from receiving urgent life-saving treatment.
What You Can Claim For
• Physical injury, pain, and suffering
• Psychological harm and emotional distress
• Corrective treatment, rehabilitation, and long-term care
• Loss of earnings and reduced earning potential
• Care and assistance provided by family members
• Travel expenses and other out-of-pocket costs
• Funeral expenses and dependency claims in fatal cases
How Much Compensation Could You Get?
Every misdiagnosis claim is unique. The level of compensation depends on:
• The severity of the harm and its long-term effects
• Medical evidence and prognosis for recovery
• Financial losses, including loss of income
• Impact on daily life and independence
• Costs of ongoing and future treatment and care
Our solicitors rely on medical reports, financial documentation, and Judicial College Guidelines (JCG) to calculate a fair settlement that reflects the real impact of misdiagnosis on your life.

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.
