COMPENSATION FOR ACCIDENTS Involving Surgery Errors

Surgery Errors

Complete surgical blunders such as operating on the wrong body part are thankfully very rare, but if these situations do occur, they are an extreme and obvious example of surgical negligence. However, there are other types of surgical mistakes that, although not as severe, are still very distressing. These can include:

Poorly dressed or repaired surgical wounds
Damaged internal organs
Suffering further injuries or illness after surgery
Damaged nerves
Loss of sensation

We have a consistent success rate of delivering high award amounts, even in difficult cases.

However, it’s important to note that although avoidable mishaps may occur during surgery, a surgeon is sometimes forced to make decisions that can impact you negatively in the short term to ensure your overall safety. Cases where your life has been saved but you have suffered harm need to be examined carefully with a medical negligence solicitor to see if you are liable to claim compensation.

Cosmetic Surgery Errors

Unfortunately, cosmetic surgery negligence cases are becoming more common, due to unregulated practices. If you have suffered an injury due to a cosmetic surgery error, you should speak to our specialised medical negligence solicitors. Common cosmetic surgery error can happen in the following procedures:

Breast augmentation.
Eyelid surgery.
Liposuction.
Facelifts.
Laser hair removal.
Skin peels.
Neck-lifts.
Rhinoplasty (“nose job”)
Teeth whitening

How We Do Things

1. Meeting To Discuss Your Case
To get a better understanding of your case and the injuries you’ve suffered, we’ll organise a consultation with you. We can do this over the phone, at our offices or even by video call.
2. Arrange the medical report
Once we’ve assessed your case, we’ll send for your medical reports to be collected from a medical professional.
3. Present the case to the Injury Board
Our highly experienced personal injury* team will put together a detailed and strategic case designed to get you the compensation you deserve. We’ll then present this case to the Injury Board.

4. The Injury Board assesses your case
After we’ve presented your case, the Injury Board will assess how much compensation you’re likely to win.
5. Decide to accept or reject the offer
As soon as you receive an offer from the injury board, our solicitors will give an honest assessment into how fair they think it is. This will help you decide whether or not to accept it.
6. You receive compensation / Go to court
If you choose to accept the offer, an “order to pay” will be sent to the other party and you’ll receive your compensation. If you choose not to accept the offer, our personal injury* team will prepare your case for court.
