Claiming clinical negligence compensation over Crohn's disease

Crohn's disease results from inflammation of the bowel, and - even if correctly diagnosed - can still lead to internal bleeding, blockage of the gut, fistulas and life-threatening internal infections. If clinical negligence leads to a misdiagnosis, these symptoms can be more unexpected and therefore more dangerous.

It is true that chronic digestive diseases can be hard to diagnose, but if a patient has suffered personal injury as a result of a misdiagnosis that most doctors would have diagnosed correctly, there may well be the possibility of making a medical negligence claim.

There are two ways that a disease can be diagnosed incorrectly; either patients are told that they have a disease that they do not, or that they do not have a disease that they are, in fact, suffering from. For a Crohn's disease sufferer, the conditions that may be diagnosed instead include irritable bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis, or colon cancer, among others.

An American compensation claim where Crohn's disease was wrongly diagnosed in a patient who later died was recently settled for a little over three quarters of a million dollars.
