We can help you with expert representation if you need to make a claim for stroke misdiagnosis compensation, which is always a serious matter.
A stroke is a ticking timebomb, and the longer it’s left without treatment, the worse the complications can be for the patients. Many stroke victims will be forced to live with lifelong problems, and medical professionals must act fast to spot the signs and administer treatment.
Sometimes, things don’t always go to plan. If you were given an inaccurate diagnosis and / or were diagnosed too late, we may be able to help you.
Can you claim stroke misdiagnosis compensation?
You can be entitled to make a claim for stroke misdiagnosis compensation if you received the incorrect diagnoses or didn’t get a diagnosis quick enough.
Whether you can make a claim for medical negligence or not generally depends on two key things:
- Was it reasonable to expect that an accurate or quicker diagnosis could have been made when you presented your symptoms?
- Have you suffered further injuries or complications as a result of the delay?
If the answer to both of those questions is “yes”, we may be able to help you.
Succeeding with a case
Succeeding with a stroke misdiagnosis compensation claim normally comes down to expert evidence.
We can instruct a private medical expert who can review your notes and records, and conduct an appointment with you to get an account of what happened. They can then provide us with a report which can either support the case or not support it.
The experts we have to instruct are independent, and their duty is to the court. It is for them to provide their professional opinion as to whether or not an accurate diagnosis could – and should – have been made.
It’s not the case that you have a guaranteed claim where a stroke is initially misdiagnosed. Medicine is not always an accurate science, and genuine, unforeseeable issues can arise. It’s the role of our expert to provide us with the professional insight we need that can then support the case.
