Medical Negligence

Surgical Errors

Most of us at some point in our lifetime will require surgery, and whilst most operations are successful, mistakes amounting to surgical errors negligently caused do occur. Whether you have undergone surgery in an NHS medical facility or privately, either way you are entitled to receive correct treatment from a trained and skilful surgical team.

When mistakes happen, they may be because of an oversight or a lapse in concentration, or because safety procedures haven’t been followed. It’s not just the surgeons themselves who can be responsible for surgical negligence, it can also be caused by incompetence on the part of nurses, anaesthetists or other support staff.

If you have suffered from a mistake during surgery, get it touch with us to see how we can help. Not only will be we explore what rehabilitation and corrective surgery options are available to support your recovery, we will take the time to ensure that we get the compensation you deserve.
