- Eilidh Stewart
Circumstances:
Eilidh Stewart had been suffering from severe abdominal pain for several months. After numerous visits to her GP, she was repeatedly misdiagnosed with less severe conditions. She was prescribed various treatments that only worsened her condition.
Eventually, after her condition deteriorated rapidly, Eilidh sought a second opinion from a private specialist, who diagnosed her with a serious underlying medical condition that required immediate surgery.

Challenges:
The difficulty in Eilidh’s case lay in proving that the initial misdiagnosis was a result of negligence, as her GP had followed standard procedures. The medical records did not conclusively show a failure in diagnosis, and the GP’s insurer contested that there had been any medical error.
HD Legal’s panel of solicitors needed to gather expert testimony from medical professionals who could demonstrate that the GP’s handling of her case had fallen below the expected standard.
How HD Legal’s Panel of Solicitors Assisted:
HD Legal’s solicitors engaged a network of medical professionals to review Eilidh’s case in detail. Expert witnesses confirmed that the GP had failed to consider the full range of her symptoms, which led to the delay in diagnosis.
The panel also arranged for Eilidh to receive physiotherapy post-surgery, helping her regain strength after the operation. The solicitors worked tirelessly to ensure that the facts of the case were clearly presented, and they successfully negotiated with the insurer to secure a favourable settlement.
Compensation Outcome:
HD Legal’s panel of solicitors secured £250,000 in compensation, which covered Eilidh’s medical treatment, ongoing care costs, loss of earnings, and pain and suffering caused by the delayed diagnosis and subsequent surgery.
