Surgery Negligence

If you or a loved one have suffered because of an error during an operation, you could be entitled to compensation through a surgery negligence claim. Although money cannot make up for the pain and suffering caused, our solicitors can help you make a claim for the expenses that have arisen due to medical negligence. We are here to help you. 

There is a certain amount of risk with any type of surgery. Mistakes can be made by medical staff, turning an already stressful situation into one that can have a permanent impact on your life. 

We know that any compensation recovered can not undo the pain and suffering experienced, but it can however help you to recover financially and pay for any ongoing treatment required. This can then give you the time and space to focus on your physical recovery. 

Types of surgery negligence

It is a doctor or surgeon’s duty to ensure you receive the best medical care possible. Our lawyers have helped many patients who have unfortunately suffered an injury during a medical procedure. 

We have successfully handled cases involving:

  • Anaesthetic awareness
  • Brain damage
  • Cosmetic surgery
  • Damage to an organ
  • Gynaecological procedures
  • Infections
  • Laparoscopy (keyhole) surgery
  • Nerve damage

Also, a surgery negligence claim can be made if a medical professional failed to obtain consent or did not fully explain the procedures involved.
