When you go into hospital, either for planned care or as a result of a medical emergency, all hospital staff and surgeons are duty bound to safeguard you from harm. If the care you receive falls below an acceptable standard and you suffer illness, injury, or the exacerbation of an existing illness or injury, as a result of sub-standard care, you have the right to claim medical negligence compensation for any associated financial losses and your pain and suffering.
make an enquiryThe medical negligence solicitor team at Wellers can determine whether you have a valid claim against a surgeon or the hospital in which you suffered medical negligence and we can help you understand how you can prove your case.
During a surgical procedure, the surgeon and associated hospital staff owe you a duty to ensure that the care you receive does not cause you harm, injury or illness. There are a number of different ways in which a surgeon and the healthcare team can fail in this duty of care, including:
The above are just some of the most common surgical failures and if you feel you have suffered as a result of another type of clinical negligence relating to surgery or a hospital procedure, contact Wellers so that we can discuss whether you would be able to make a claim.
There are strict time limits that apply when making a medical negligence claim against a hospital or surgeon. You have three years to make a claim from the date of the surgery, or, if the injury became apparent later, the three-year period begins when you knew (or reasonably should have known) that the surgery caused the harm.
Suing the NHS and making a medical negligence compensation claim against a doctor, surgeon or healthcare practitioner is a complex process, and our experienced and dedicated personal injury team can provide expert representation, with extremely high levels of success. We will listen to the circumstances of your case during a free no-obligation interview and this will help us to consider the likelihood of success.
