What is a Surgical Error Claim?

A surgical error claim is an action taken by patient (or their family) after a medical professional fails to provide the appropriate standard of care when performing a surgical procedure. Despite their best intentions, surgery can sometimes go wrong which can cause serious complications such as the requirement for further surgery to correct the error, more invasive procedures, worsened prognosis and in rare circumstances, loss of life. In such cases, the effect of the surgical error can have a significant impact on a person’s life, independence, and ability to carry out their day-to-day tasks. Our expert solicitors will assess your case on a no-win, no-fee agreement basis and support you in obtaining the outcome you deserve.

Common Types of Surgical Errors

Poor post-operative care can lead to infections for the patient. It can also mean that early symptoms of complications are missed.

Items such as sponges, needles, or tools that are accidentally left inside the patient’s body can lead to severe infection or pain.

Unnecessay surgeries mean that further operations will be required and cause physical and metal harm.

Delays in carrying out surgeries that are needed can lead to increased risk and complications.

There is no set time frame for settling such cases as each case is different and the complexities of each case will mean that some cases require more attention and may take longer than other. It can vary from a few months to a couple of years depending on the Defendant’s stance and the circumstances of each individual case.

Each case is different and errors during surgery can affect each person differently. We aim to recover sums that will compensate you for the physical and mental suffering you have endured together with the costs of any rehabilitation, further surgeries to rectify the issue, loss of earnings for time out of work and any ongoing care and treatment. This is a non-exhaustive list, and our specialist solicitors will ensure no stone is left unturned.
