Expert Delayed Surgery Negligence Claims Solicitors

Delayed Surgery Negligence Claims

For delayed surgery negligence claims, the issues often arise out of pauses in treatment or even procrastination. Moreover, delay in medical treatment has become increasingly common in the 21st Century.

In essence, treatment should begin as soon as possible after the diagnosis of illness, particularly with cases which require surgery. Delaying surgery can cause a patient’s health to deteriorate, impede their recovery, and even shorten their life expectancy. There are times when surgery may require a delay.

For example, let’s say that a patient suffers an infection. But surgical delays as a result of medical negligence should not happen in modern hospitals. Ergo, clinical negligence and negligent delay to specialist medical treatment may cause short or long term surgery claims.

Surgery delays may result from errors as far back as the initial appointment when you spoke of concerns with your GP. Their failure to recognise the severity of your symptoms and diagnose the cause, or to refer you to a specialist for further investigation, can cause as much damage to your health as if hospital staff committed the delayed surgical negligence.

What is Delayed Surgery Negligence?

In essence, you may have a delayed surgical negligence claim if the delay in treatment causes:

• Your condition to ultimately become worse;
• Also, there are any increases in pain and suffering;
• Additionally, there’s a lower chance of you making a full recovery;
• Most of all, acknowledgement of the unnecessary wait time leading to personal injury;
• Furthermore, a reduction in life expectancy, and;
• Any further illness.

Examples of delayed surgery negligence include the case of one Liverpool woman. In short, there was a suspicious lump that requires removal. But admission to the hospital did not happen despite the urgency.

She repeatedly sought to obtain an operation date from the hospital for delayed diagnosis. Eventually, she had to have the lump removed at a private hospital as it was causing her considerable pain.

A biopsy of the lump shows it was cancerous, and the patient then underwent a mastectomy and breast reconstruction. The hospital was guilty of delay in surgery negligence. Ultimately, they found cancer later than if they not delayed scheduling her operation.

How can our medical negligence team help?

The Medical Negligence Experts work with solicitors capable of dealing with cases for delays in surgery and diagnosis negligence. Moreover, we can talk to you about your situation and offer legal advice on whether your claim will succeed.

A valid claim for compensation must prove that a person suffers unduly due to the delay. We can put you in touch with independent medical assessors who can help gather evidence to support this.

In essence, we appreciate that compensation isn’t only about covering the costs of

• additional care;
• loss of earnings, and;
• in addition, any emotional trauma you suffer from as a result.

Again, you deserve answers as to why there was an unacceptable standard of attention in the first place. Moreover, you want reassurance that they will avoid similar errors in future so others don’t suffer as you did.

Legal and medical jargon can be confusing. Additionally, poor communication from a solicitor can add stress to what is already a difficult time. Therefore, the Medical Negligence Experts promise to keep you up to date with the information you need to know.
