Surgery and Neurosurgery Negligence. When to Claim Compensation
Surgical negligence can be life changing and may justify a claim for compensation. Speak to a specialist solicitor about investigating your claim.
The right to compensation for medical negligence
A patient who has suffered a worse outcome from medical care than should have been the case may be entitled to claim compensation for the consequences.
If it is found that a medical professional has provided substandard or negligent care and that the negligence has adversely affected the patient's outcome and quality of life, it may be appropriate to make a claim.
Surgery and neurosurgery negligence
Negligence in the course of surgery, especially neurosurgery, can have absolutely catastrophic consequences, resulting in brain injury, mobility losses, cognitive difficulties and a wide range of other vital function losses. The implications for an individual's long-term health, their emotional well-being and the quality of life for both them and their family can be devastating.
There can also, inevitably, be significant financial implications which a successful compensation claim would address.
Whether in the fields of orthopaedic surgery, bowel surgery, heart surgery or brain surgery, the level of competence of the medical practitioner is crucial to the outcome.
Making a claim for compensation
The value of a compensation claim will reflect the extent and nature of the problems experienced by the patient as well as the degree to which medical negligence contributed to these problems.
In order to ascertain the degree, if any, of negligence and in order to assess the impact on the patient, it is essential to use the services of a specialist medical negligence lawyer.
They will obtain copies of your medical records and engage the best medical experts to analyse the quality of your care.
Where it is found that you have, indeed, been the victim of negligence, a further assessment will identify the impact, your difficulties and needs, and the associated value of your claim. For example, if you are no longer able to work, a successful claim would incorporate your loss of income.
Also, if you now require personal care or specialist equipment, these costs would also be included insofar as the need has been caused by the negligent care.
