We will discuss some examples below, like surgery negligence and birth illnesses. However, we have also assisted with cases like infections that have been caused because of poor hygiene levels.

Negligence In Surgery And Surgical Care

As mentioned above, we could also help you when it comes to making a claim for negligence because of a mistake that has happened during a surgical procedure. While there is no denying that all sorts of surgeries and operations, including both cosmetic and medical, come with risks, this does not mean that negligence is classed as a risk and can therefore be forgotten. If an error has happened and you can prove that it could have been avoided, you may have the basis for a claim. Examples of where surgical staff have breach their duty by providing substandard care and this has resulted in harm, could range from procedures being carried out on the wrong part of the body which have resulted in damage to healthy organs or loss of a healthy limb, to incidents whereby surgical instruments have been retained and this has caused a life threatening infection.

Cancer Diagnosis Delayed Or Misdiagnosed

A late or incorrect cancer diagnosis could result in the condition spreading and getting worse. This could have a serious impact on the outcome of the cancer treatment as unfortunately,  there have been a number of cases whereby situations like this have been fatal. If you feel that those treating or diagnosing you have been negligent and this has directly resulted in your condition becoming worse, then do consider calling us to see if you might have a claim.

Birth Infection, Illness Or Injury

Aside from the examples above, our panel of expert medical negligence solicitors could help with birth infections, illness, and injuries. These cases could be very traumatic, as they could cause serious injuries to both the mother and the baby. These incidents might happen because the medical professionals in question have not noticed that the baby and/or mother were in distress and therefore have not acted to quickly enough. An example of such is, the incorrect use of forceps which has caused life long injuries, such as permanent scarring for either mother, baby or both. Misuse of forceps could also lead to internal tearing which has resulted in an unnecessary infection for the mother, or the baby suffering with a brain injury. Unfortunately, the previous examples are only a few of what could happen if medical professionals let their standards slip during child birth, please contact us using the below information to discuss more.
