Experts in Nerve Injury Negligence Claims

Nerve Injury Negligence Claims & Medical Accidents

Experiencing nerve damage through medical negligence is tough. Not only have you lost sensation and possibly suffered ongoing pain or paralysis, but the knowledge that it resulted from an avoidable error makes it doubly difficult to handle. If you need to make nerve injury negligence claims, contact The Medical Claims Experts.

We turn to a medical negligence team equipped to ensure compensatory damages caused by medical professionals. For surgical procedures and more, TMNE will assist your nerve injury negligence claims.

What is Nerve Injury Negligence?

Sometimes nerve injury can occur even when all reasonable precautions have been taken to avoid it. The complexity and delicacy of contemporary surgery can mean that a surgeon may be working less than millimetres away from delicate nerve endings.

You can be eligible to make nerve injury claims when negligence occurs. Particularly when avoidable errors damage neurones and the nerves cease to function correctly. Effects of nerve damage can include:

• Tingling and numbness in hands and feet;
• Loss of sense, such as feeling or sight;
• Weakened muscles, and;
• The feeling of burning, or shooting pains.

 

Negligent nerve damage can be the result of:

• Mistakenly cutting a nerve during surgery;
• Putting inappropriate pressure on a nerve for an extended period of time;
• Injuries during birth, and;
• Poorly administering of injections.

These minuscule parts of the body carry an enormous responsibility as they transmit electric impulses to the spinal cord or brain, allowing your body to move and feel. Sensory neurones let you experience temperature, taste, and sound.

Relay neurones and motor neurones manage the messages from your central nervous system to various parts of your body, like your hands and feet, which enables you to move. With damages, the results can be life-changing.

What TMNE does with nerve injury negligence claims

The Medical Negligence Experts are lawyers who handle medical negligence claims on a daily basis. We specialise in helping clients obtain compensation for clinical negligence, by finding out whether they have a case and then maximising how much compensation if you suffer nerve damage they can receive.

We know how daunting starting the process can be, above all. Especially if you are still dealing with the physical and emotional effects of medical mistreatment.

The process of starting nerve damage claims is not straightforward, but we will do our best to make it a stress-free one for you. The first stage is to ascertain whether you have a valid reason to lodge nerve damage compensation claims and to then go from there. To do this, your nerve injury negligence claims solicitor needs to be able to prove two things.

1. That you were the victim of negligence

Moreover, your nerve damage results from an action which was completely avoidable. We mentioned earlier that not all nerve damage is due to negligence. Some procedures come with a risk of nerve damage, but this should always be clearly explained to patients, so they can make an informed consent.

2. That the negligence causes you injury or harm

This one can be difficult, especially if the damage occurred recently and doctors are still determining the extent of the effects. The extent of your injury can affect how much compensation for nerve damage you receive.

There is a time limit for bringing a medical compensation claim to court. Most conclude before that becomes necessary. However, the gathering of evidence, negotiation, and defendant’s investigation all take time. As a rule of thumb, the more complex your condition, the longer the process of making nerve injury claims will be.

Understanding Medical Negligence Claims

To appreciate how compensation claims work, consider amputation claims, which our lawyers also specialise in. For example, NHS figures show that between 5,000 and 6,000 amputations occur in the UK each year. Indeed, most relate to progressive conditions such as diabetes, but some stem from medical negligence.

The Medical Negligence Experts understand that your situation may appear similar to another person on paper. But claims aren’t made on paper: they’re made on the basis of the people victimised by the negligent behaviour. The fact is, every patient is unique in the way their lives change as a result:

• in the nature of their rehabilitation;
• their support network, and;
• in how they approach their changed situation.
