Having surgery can be stressful and worrying enough, when that surgery is negligent then the effects of this can be truly devastating.
There are a number of ways in which a surgery can be considered negligent and lead to a surgical negligence claim:
- The wrong operation was performed
- The operation was performed on the wrong body part
- It resulted in nerve or organ damage
- Foreign objects were left in the body e.g. surgical instruments
- Poor hygiene led to infection
- Incorrect measure of anaesthetic was used (too much or too little)
- You were not informed of all the possible risks of the surgery
- Your full medical history was not properly assessed before checking your suitability for the surgery
- It was improperly executed
- Unnecessary scarring and tissue damage
For there to be a valid claim, it needs to be proven that the medical professional did not meet sufficient standards that you would expect from that body of surgeons.
