How Do I Get Compensation for a Damaged Phrenic Nerve?
It may be possible to get compensation for the consequences of a damaged phrenic nerve, if the symptoms which you are suffering are, to some degree, the result of negligent medical care.
Assessing the quality of your medical care
If you think that this scenario applies to you or a loved one, the first step is to speak with a solicitor who specialises in medical negligence law.
Before you can proceed further with a possible claim, it is necessary to identify whether or not any medical negligence has actually occurred and, for that process, a specialist solicitor will be able to access the appropriate medical experts.
They will analyse your medical records and identify whether or not you have been the victim of negligence. If so, they will also consider the impact of the negligence both on your physical outcome and your long-term quality of life.
The value of compensation
If you are struggling with a damaged phrenic nerve, you will know only too well the restrictions it can place on your health, well-being and quality of life. The chances are that you may be struggling to work or may need some degree of personal care or assistance in order to manage everyday activities.
You may require additional medical treatment, equipment and support.
A successful compensation claim can help to address may of the difficulties you may be facing, but only if it is found that your problems have been caused by negligent medical care.
Where this proves to be the case, your financial losses such as a reduced income or the costs of care, will be included in your claim.
Negligent medical care
Damage to the phrenic nerve is a risk of some types of surgery. It is essential that the patient should have been thoroughly consented prior to their surgical procedure and, if damage has occurred, it is necessary to identify why and how that happened.
If the relevant medical professional is considered have been negligent, leaving you to suffer the consequences, a claim for compensation may be the best way forward.
