Stuart Bramley of Tozers comments on this article in today's Daily Telegraph. "The rising number of meningitis claims being defended by the MDU shows a worrying trend with potentially fatal consequences. Having successfully conducted several claims of failure to diagnose meningitis, I have first hand experience of the life-altering consequences that such a mistake can have on a patient's life. Any initiative or advice that highlights the risks involved of diagnosis without a full examination of the individual is good news for patients".

If you or a member of your family has experienced difficulties of this nature please do not hesitate to contact a member of Tozers' clinical negligence team for a confidential, free consultation.
