Misdiagnosis
Misdiagnosis Claim Solicitors in Cheltenham
If a medical professional failed to diagnose your condition correctly, and it caused harm or delay to your treatment, you may be entitled to compensation. At Pembridge Solicitors, we support clients across Cheltenham and Gloucestershire who have suffered due to misdiagnosis — helping them pursue justice and the compensation they deserve.
A misdiagnosis can lead to unnecessary pain, prolonged illness, or even life-altering consequences. We’re here to help you understand your rights and take legal action where care has fallen below acceptable standards
What Is a Misdiagnosis?
A misdiagnosis happens when a healthcare professional:
- Fails to spot a medical condition entirely (missed diagnosis)
- Diagnoses you with the wrong condition (incorrect diagnosis)
- Delays a diagnosis that results in harm or worsened health (late diagnosis)
These errors can happen in hospitals, GP surgeries, walk-in clinics, or private healthcare settings.
Common Misdiagnosis Cases We Handle
We regularly support clients in cases involving:
- Missed cancer diagnosis
- Heart conditions mistaken for anxiety or indigestion
- Stroke symptoms being dismissed or misinterpreted
- Infections or sepsis diagnosed too late
- Fractures mistaken for sprains or soft tissue injuries
- Misdiagnosed meningitis, diabetes, or autoimmune conditions
If the delay or mistake caused avoidable harm, we can help you explore a claim.
What Can You Claim For?
If your misdiagnosis claim is successful, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Physical pain and suffering
- Psychological trauma or stress
- Additional medical treatment or surgery
- Impact on your ability to work or earn income
- Future care needs or adaptations to daily life
- Travel and treatment costs
We’ll work closely with medical experts to assess the extent of the harm and ensure your compensation reflects the full impact.
How the Process Works
We guide you through every step of your medical negligence claim, including:
- A free consultation to assess your case
- Requesting and reviewing your medical records
- Instructing independent medical experts
- Submitting a formal claim to the NHS or private provider
- Negotiating a settlement or preparing for court if necessary
Most cases are handled on a no win, no fee basis, so there’s no financial risk in getting legal advice.
