Start your surgical error claim
A surgical error claim arises where a patient (or their family) takes legal action following negligent treatment during a surgical procedure. A claim for surgery negligence typically involves a failure by a medical professional to meet the appropriate standard of care expected in the circumstances.
While surgical procedures are often carried out with the utmost care, surgical errors can still occur. Mistakes made in surgery may lead to serious consequences, including the need for corrective operations, more invasive treatment, a worsened prognosis, or, in rare cases, loss of life.
The impact of a surgical error can be profound, affecting a person’s health, independence, and ability to carry out everyday activities. Our specialist medical negligence solicitors can assess your claim on a no-win, no-fee basis and guide you through the process of securing the compensation you deserve.

1. Free initial consultation:
Contact our specialist team for a free initial consultation. The initial chat allows one of our surgical error solicitors to review your case and confirm whether you have a viable claim for surgery negligence compensation. We’ll also explain how a no win, no fee agreement works, so you can move forward with confidence and no financial risk.
2. Gathering Evidence:
Once your negligent surgery case is prepared, we will formally approach the responsible party. If they accept liability and compensation is agreed, we can request payments to cover urgent costs such as lost income or treatment expenses while your claim continues.
3. Contacting Responsible Parties:
Once evidence is gathered, we will draft a Letter of Claim to the negligent trust or surgeon. Our expert solicitors will guide you through the process.
4. Resolving Your Claim:
If liability is disputed or agreed compensation cannot be reached, your case may be taken to Court; however, this is usually a last resort. Many claims are settled before reaching a final hearing and we will support and guide you at every stage.
Poor post-operative care can lead to infections for the patient or result in missed early symptoms.
Items such as sponges, needles, or tools that are accidentally left inside the patient’s body can lead to severe infection or pain.
Unnecessary surgeries mean that further operations will be required, and unwarranted operations can cause physical and mental harm.
Delays in carrying out surgeries that are needed can lead to increased risk and complications, such as cauda equina.
Our dedicated team handles a number of surgical error claims. We are experienced, professional and will treat your case with the sensitivity it requires.

Compensation for surgical errors in England and Wales varies widely, usually from a few thousand pounds for relatively minor injuries to six figures or more for serious, permanent harm.
The final amount is based on the severity of the injury, pain and suffering, lost earnings, care costs, treatment costs and the long-term impact on your life. Where possible we will give you an estimate as to what you could claim for surgical error compensation.
You have three years from the date of the surgical error, or three years from the date you become aware of the surgical error, if later, to bring a claim for personal injury. In the case of a child, they have 3 years from the date they turn 18 to bring any claim. It is always advisable to seek legal help as soon as possible so contact our experts at Satchell Moran today.
A surgical error claim can take from a few months to several years. Simple cases may settle quickly, while serious or disputed claims usually take longer because of medical evidence and negotiations.
You would usually make a surgical error claim against the surgeon, the hospital or NHS trust, and any other staff, such as nurse negligence, whose substandard treatment contributed to the operation going wrong.
In many cases, the claim is brought against the healthcare provider responsible for the care, rather than a single individual.
