Frequently Asked Questions
No, you don't need to be nervous about making a claim against your GP or Hospital Doctor if you're a victim of medical negligence.
All GPs, NHS hospitals and units are effectively "insured" by the government scheme operated by the National Health Service Litigation Authority. Private surgeons and hospitals are required by law to have their own insurance.
You will need to think about whether you wish to change your individual GP surgery or hospital doctor. We have never acted for a patient who has received less favourable treatment from their doctor after making a claim; in fact, often the opposite is true.
