What claims count as surgical errors?
There are cases where there was a clear failure by the treating surgeon to perform the operation to an acceptable standard, or in some cases, carry out appropriate surgery for the problem.
Some of the claims we regularly deal with include:
- Nerve damage
- Organ damage
- Colonoscopy errors
- Cardiology negligence
- Avoidable wound infection/prolonged recovery
- Negligently performed colorectal surgery
- Gallbladder removal
- Delays in performing surgery
"Brilliant service from start to finish staff were fantastic throughout always kept you updated and advice where needed. Can not fault them one but would defiantly recommend to anyone."
Accessory nerve damage
The accessory nerve (sometimes called the spinal accessory nerve) is not well known but any injury to it can have severe consequences for a patient. This nerve controls our ability to shrug our shoulders and turn our head. Without this nerve life would be very difficult and many of our day to day tasks would be impossible.
Cardiology negligence
Heart disease is a major cause of health problems in the UK. This is partly due to lifestyle factors and partly due to diet or perhaps congenital conditions.
Each year thousands of patients are diagnosed with coronary artery disease, atrial fibrillation, heart valve disease or cardiomyopathy.
Sadly, misdiagnosis and mistakes can happen in cardiac treatment. Our team of surgical error specialists are on hand to give you expert advice.
- Misdiagnosis and mistreatment of heart attacks
- Negligent heart surgery
- Failure to diagnose a fatal cardiac arrhythmia
- Failure to transfer to a heart specialist where this is required
- Failure to diagnose diseases such as endocarditis, an infection of the heart
Of course, we recognise that money can never truly compensate you or your family for this, but it can make a big difference. A surgical error compensation claim will take into account any loss of earnings or other financial expenses that you have incurred because of the negligence.
