According to figures released by the Royal College of Surgeons, there are on average 4.6 million surgical operations each year in England. While surgeons are highly trained and the majority of operations go without a hitch, mistakes can and do happen.
Regardless of whether you were operated on in a private or NHS hospital you are due a standard of care. If your healthcarer failed to take care of you then speak to us on 0800 633 5730.
If you have placed your life in the hands of a healthcare professional and your surgery has been botched, you are entitled to claim compensation.
£17,500 payout for 63 year old following botched bladder surgery.
£55,000 payout for woman following wrong ovary removal.
If after botched surgery you now need a high level of care and can no longer work, the compensation payout could be significant.
Medical errors can be devastating, and sadly in some cases the botched surgery is irreversible.
If you have been let down by the healthcare system, we can take on your case and make a claim for the compensation you deserve.
By bringing a claim for negligence you can prevent other patients from being injured in a similar way.
If you bring a claim against a negligent healthcarer you can receive a payout for your pain and suffering AND you can also highlight the medical failings of your healthcare provider.
To bring a successful claim it is necessary to prove:
When suing the NHS or a private healthcare provider, it is necessary to prove a) your healthcarer was negligent and b) the treatment provided fell below the level of care expected from an average competent medical professional.
Evidence will be needed from an expert in the relevant medical field to back up your claim, however we can help you obtain the evidence you will need.
It is necessary to prove that any injury and subsequent loss suffered was as a DIRECT consequence of the negligent treatment.
It will be necessary to obtain the testimony of a medical expert to prove your claim, once again we can help you obtain the evidence you will need.
It is necessary to establish the amount of compensation which should be paid out. This will depend on various factors such as pain, suffering and financial loss.
A report will need to be prepared by a medical expert to assess the damages and the level of care and future provisions needed, we can help you obtain the evidence needed to prove your claim.
To confidentially discuss your claim in more detail call us on 0800 633 5730.
If you have suffered injury because of negligence before, during or after a surgical procedure, then you will need to make a claim within three years of the incident.
Alternatively the three year time limit runs from when you found out your injury could give rise to a claim for compensation.
Special rules apply to claims involving children, patients with reduced mental capacity and the family of a patient who has died.
To ensure you do not fall foul of time limitation rules seek legal advice as soon as possible.
