What is medical misdiagnosis?
Medical misdiagnosis occurs due to an incorrect diagnosis of a condition, a delayed diagnosis, or a condition or illness being missed completely.
The majority of medical professionals provide the correct diagnoses; however, there are occasions when a misdiagnosis occurs. The consequences of a misdiagnosis in these situations can be life-changing and even fatal.
Commonly misdiagnosed conditions
Some of the conditions and illnesses commonly misdiagnosed include:
- Cancer
- Meningitis
- Stroke
- Infections
- Orthopaedic conditions
- Heart conditions
- Diabetes

How much compensation can I claim for medical misdiagnosis?
The amount of compensation you can claim for medical misdiagnosis is dependent on:
- the extent of any injury or illness you have suffered due to the negligent medical treatment
- expenses you have incurred
