Types of Surgical Negligence Claims We Handle
Surgical negligence claims can arise from a wide range of errors before, during, or after an operation. These mistakes can result in pain, complications, or the need for further treatment. Here’s an overview of the types of surgical negligence claims our team handles:
- Wrong-Site Surgery – Surgery on the wrong body part or patient is a serious error. It can lead to lasting harm and is often a result of miscommunication or poor planning.
- Retained Surgical Instruments – Forgetting tools or sponges inside the body can lead to infection or internal damage. The patient may require surgery to remove the object and repair the harm.
- Anaesthesia Errors – Too much or insufficient anaesthetic or poor monitoring can cause injury. In rare cases, this error can result in permanent disability or brain damage.
- Infection from Poor Hygiene – Lack of sterile conditions increases the risk of post-surgical infection. These infections can delay healing and lead to serious complications.
- Unnecessary Surgery or Poor Technique – Operating without a clear medical need or using poor surgical technique can cause preventable harm. Patients may suffer chronic pain, scarring, or reduced mobility.
Understanding Your Right to Surgical Negligence Compensation
Surgical errors can cause lasting harm, but you may be entitled to file a claim for surgical negligence compensation if poor care has affected your health.
A surgical negligence compensation claim can help cover the following financial, physical, and emotional effects of the mistake:
- Pain and Suffering – A surgical negligence compensation claim includes physical pain and emotional distress. It also covers any long-term effects that impact your daily life.
- Loss of Earnings – If your injury has prevented you from working, you can claim for lost income. Your right applies whether employed, self-employed, full-time, or part-time.
- Treatment and Recovery Costs – Further surgery, rehabilitation, or medical equipment may be needed. Your surgical negligence compensation claim can include these expenses.
- Travel and Care Support – You may be able to recover costs for transport to appointments and home care. These expenses often add up quickly during your recovery.
