If you have suffered an orthopaedic injury through no fault of your own, Ramsdens Solicitors is here to help you get the compensation you deserve through an orthopaedic negligence claim. We have gained a high level of expertise in dealing with cases in this area, so can offer sound advice and support for you and your family.
Injuries to the bones, joints and ligaments can have a significant impact on those who have sustained them, specifically relating to their ability to work and the pain and suffering caused.
If you or a loved one have sustained such an injury due to the fault of an orthopaedic surgeon, the effects can be even more difficult to bear. Ramsdens can assist you at this difficult time by guiding you through an orthopaedic negligence claim.
Errors in surgery
Orthopaedic injuries can occur when mistakes are made during surgery.
Common incidents of this nature include:
- Errors during hip replacement surgery
- Errors during knee replacement surgery
- Mistakes during ligament reconstruction surgery
- Mistakes made during foot surgery
The list above is not exhaustive, and if you have sustained an orthopaedic injury at the hands of a surgeon, we still want to speak to you.
Missed fractures
In some cases, fractures can be missed by doctors and surgeons, leaving patients at risk of their injury worsening. Inadequate examinations by a medical professional can have a significant impact on a patient’s life.
Other common orthopaedic injuries
Other common cases involving orthopaedic negligence include:
- Missed or late diagnosis
- Making the wrong diagnosis
- Failure to perform or interpret diagnostic blood tests
- Damage to the nerves
- Damage to circulation
- Serious infection of a wound
- Failure to order X-rays
