If I bring a claim for compensation will it affect my care in the future?
This is a common concern and one which we can hopefully reassure you about. In our experience your care should not be adversely affected. You have the right to bring a claim, as you would in any other circumstance where you felt someone had been negligent and caused an injury to you. Many people fear that their treatment will be affected by bringing a claim, and this is an understandable fear, but one which, in our experience, is not justified.
If however you do feel that your care has been affected, there are a number of things you can do, for example you could change your GP practice, and if your concern is about hospital care, you could ask your GP to refer you elsewhere.
