Gastroenterology
If you’ve suffered harm due to negligent medical care in gastroenterology then you’re not alone. The digestive system is complex, and mistakes in diagnosis, treatment, or aftercare can have serious consequences. Patients can experience delays in the diagnosis of conditions like Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, or even cancer, leading to worsened health outcomes. Others suffer as a result of errors during investigative procedures such as colonoscopies or endoscopies.
How The Medical Law Partnership Can Help You Claim Compensation for Gastroenterology Negligence?
At The Medical Law Partnership, we’ve helped many patients like you who have been let down by healthcare providers in gastroenterology. Whether your case involves a misdiagnosis of your condition, a surgical error, or a failure to monitor your condition properly, we understand how distressing this can be. You deserve answers and compensation for what you’ve been through.
Negligence in the medical field of Gastroenterology can take many forms, and recognising whether your experience falls into one of these categories is the first step towards seeking justice. Some of the more common claims we handle include:
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis – Conditions like bowel cancer, coeliac disease, or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) require timely detection. If your doctor failed to recognise your symptoms, misinterpreted test results, or dismissed your concerns leading to a worsened condition, you may have a claim.
- Endoscopy or colonoscopy errors – These procedures carry risks, including perforation of the bowel, infections, or missed abnormalities. If a healthcare professional acted negligently during the procedure and caused you harm, you could be entitled to compensation.
- Medication errors – Prescribing the wrong medication, incorrect dosage, or failing to monitor side effects can worsen gastrointestinal conditions.
- Surgical mistakes – Errors during gallbladder removal, hernia repairs, or other abdominal surgeries can lead to chronic pain, infections, or further complications.
- Failure to obtain informed consent – You have the right to understand the risks of any procedure. If you weren’t properly informed and suffered harm as a result, this could form the basis of a claim.

Compensation isn’t just about covering medical bills—it’s about restoring your quality of life. Depending on your circumstances, you may be able to claim for:
- Pain and suffering – Financial recognition for the physical and emotional distress caused by negligence.
- Loss of earnings – If your injury forced you to take time off work or reduced your earning capacity.
- Medical expenses – Including costs for corrective treatments, therapies, or medications.
- Care and assistance – If you’ve needed help with daily activities due to your condition.
- Future care needs – If your injury requires long-term support.
Every case is different, and we’ll ensure your claim reflects the full impact of the negligence on your life.
The duration of a claim varies depending on its complexity and whether the defendant admits liability. Some cases settle within 2-4 years, while others may take longer if they go to court.
