Surgical Negligence Claims 

Mistakes during surgery can result in unnecessary pain and suffering. If you have suffered due to surgical negligence our medical negligence solicitors could help you claim the compensation that you deserve.

 

Surgical Negligence Compensation Claims          

 The majority of surgeries performed in the UK are successful and unproblematic. However occasionally surgeries can go wrong and can, leaving patients with long-standing and devastating problems. All surgeries present some risk and a positive outcome cannot be guaranteed, sometimes this is for reasons that can’t be avoided but from time to time this is down to negligence of surgeons and health care professionals.

Negligence of surgeons or hospitals that results in medical complications for patients such as injury or infection can be devastating, and anyone that has been subject to surgical negligence can therefore be entitled to claim

 

Types of Surgery Negligence Claims 

Although surgical negligence is incredibly uncommon, there are multiple different forms of surgical negligence that can take place. All of which we can assist our clients in claiming compensation for. Just some examples of surgical negligence include:

  • Performing a wrong site surgery
  • Failed surgical procedure
  • Incorrect surgical procedure
  • Unnecessary surgery
  • Delay in surgery
  • Tissue damage

When doing surgery, your surgeon has a responsibility to use reasonable care and expertise. They’ll probably be deemed to have been negligent if they didn’t use this reasonable care and competence.

You can sue the surgeon and/or hospital if your surgery was performed negligently and you as a result had physical harm, infection, and/or other consequences.
