Surgical Error Claims
If you have suffered an injury as a result of surgery, it may be possible to bring a claim for surgical negligence.
We act for both adults and children in a wide variety of claims surrounding surgical errors causing long term problems be it from general or cosmetic surgery.
Some common themes in terms of claims for surgical negligence include surgery undertaken at the wrong site or on the wrong body part or where an implement is left in situ. These types of cases can be quite straightforward and operating on the wrong body part is a ‘never event’ – meaning it should never occur.
However, some surgical negligence claims can be very complex and involve difficult medical and legal arguments about whether surgery was carried out to a reasonable standard and whether this caused an injury. There can also be complicated issues surrounding consent and whether sufficient information was provided for a patient to give informed consent to surgery.
If you or a family member has suffered an unexpectedly poor outcome from surgery, please contact us to discuss how we can help.

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.
