Orthopaedic Surgery Medical Negligence and Claiming Compensation
If you or a loved one are struggling with the effects of negligent orthopaedic surgery, contact Gynns to discuss the possibility of a claim for compensation.
Claiming compensation for Orthopaedic Surgery Negligence
Whether or not it is appropriate or possible to make a claim for compensation for medical negligence related to orthopaedic surgery depends a number of things:
- Has there been an act of negligence or breach of duty in the course of your care or surgery?
- Have you suffered a worse outcome than would have been the case with an acceptable level of care?
- Are you experiencing on-going difficulties and financial losses caused by the negligence?
If the answer to the above is 'yes', a successful compensation claim should help to alleviate some of the difficulties you know face. For example, if negligent surgery has caused you to suffer a significant loss of income, a successful claim would take those financial losses into account.
The impact of negligent orthopaedic surgery
When orthopaedic surgery goes wrong the impact on the patient can be life-changing. Thankfully this does not occur often, but when it does, the patient has recourse to an entitlement in law to compensation.
If surgery to the knee or hip, for example, causes permanent and disabling nerve damage, or leads to infection and sepsis, the patient may lose their mobility or suffer a significant reduction in their health rendering them unable to work.
These financial losses are recoverable by the patient if they have been caused by negligent medical care.
