What is classed as Surgical Negligence?

Mistakes can be made by a surgeon or medical professional, during surgery, which leaves the patient with further health issues or injuries. TRUE Solicitors can help you make a general & emergency surgery compensation claim if, amongst other things, the surgeon:

• Left a foreign object, such as a medical instrument, in your body.
• Caused you to develop an infection due to poor hygiene standards.
• Operated on the wrong body part.
• Performed the incorrect operation.
• Caused injury or nerve damage to your organs.
• Failed to perform the appropriate checks to clarify if you were suitable for the surgery.
• Administered too much or too little anaesthetic.

How much compensation will I receive?

There is no hard and fast rule for what your claim may be worth. It depends on the nature and severity of the negligence, and how it has impacted the individual.
