Vascular Injury Claims

Our Approach

We specialise in claims relating to vascular injuries and vascular surgery.

The vascular system (also known as the circulatory system) is made up of the vessels that carry blood around the body. Vascular disease is any abnormal condition of the arteries and veins such as peripheral vascular disease (PVD) which can be caused by narrowing of blood vessels restricting blood flow. PVD can cause numbness and weakness in the legs, ulcers and intermittent pain. A stroke can be caused by arterial disease.

Claims for medical negligence can arise in this area for example:

Where there is a failure to diagnose a vascular disease and treat it swiftly. Failures in the treatment of coronary artery disease, for example, may lead to a preventable heart attack.
Where vascular disease is not properly treated leading to amputation of a limb.
Where there is a failure to treat Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) leading to Pulmonary Embolism (PE).
Where there is a failure to manage pressure sores.
Where there are failures in vascular surgery procedures leading to damage to major arteries such as the aorta or pulmonary artery.
Where there are failures in vascular surgery procedures leading, for example, to nerve damage or a brain injury.
Blood clots in arteries in the groin or legs leading to circulation issues in lower limbs.
Injuries to arteries during orthopaedic surgery.

Our Expertise

Compensation for vascular injuries

Where medical or surgical errors cause vascular injuries, they can lead to significant pain, loss of limbs and mobility issues.

The amount of compensation that can be obtained in a successful claim will depend on the extent of the injuries involved as well as many other factors including whether there has been a loss of earnings. However, an award will usually include sums to provide for future care and treatment needs resulting from the negligence.

If you or a family member has suffered as a result of failures in vascular treatment, we can support you through the process of bringing a claim for compensation. Where you have lost a loved one, we can also assist in bringing a compensation claim for the dependents of the person who has died. Please contact us to discuss how we can help.

Your claim – why us

Your case will be investigated by our specialist lawyers, led by a partner. We understand the difficulties with bringing a claim and the traumatic nature of some vascular injuries. We work with leading experts in various areas including vascular surgeons and tissue viability nurses in order to assess the strength of a claim.

We then work with further experts to consider a client’s long term needs and the full amount of compensation required.

Our lawyers are recognised by the Legal 500 and Chambers directories as specialists in clinical negligence cases.

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.
