Heart Surgery Claims
Heart surgery (also known as cardiac or cardiothoracic surgery) can include a large number of different procedures including heart transplant, coronary bypass, insertion of stents and the fitting of a pacemaker.
If mistakes are made during heart surgery, the consequences can be devastating.
Cases in this area may arise where:
- Anaesthetic errors are made
- Damage is caused to the valves of the heart
- Damage is caused to blood vessels
- Infection occurs as a result of poor treatment
- There are failures in post-operative care
Heart Surgery Compensation
How much compensation can be obtained will depend upon the extent of the injury suffered from the surgical negligence but will often include sums for future operations if needed, care, aids and equipment as well as sums for pain and suffering and financial losses such as lost earnings.

Can my attorney just do what they like with my money?
You can only make an LPA while you have mental capacity so it is a good idea to think about it early, even if you are young and healthy. The chances are that you won’t need it for a long time and maybe not at all. However, if something unexpected happens, for example if you are in an accident, then having an LPA in place will be one less thing for your loved ones to worry about.
If you make an LPA now and change your mind about who your attorneys should be, then you can always make a new one later.
