Medical Negligence Solicitors You Can Rely On
Mistakes during surgery can have life-changing consequences. Suffering a serious injury can be frightening, and you may not know what to do if a doctor makes a mistake in surgery. At ASL Solicitors, we understand how overwhelming this situation can be, and we’re here to help.
Our team of experienced legal professionals are among the best medical negligence solicitors in Greater Manchester. We support clients through every stage of their medical negligence claims, always working with empathy, clarity and dedication. Below, we explain the most common surgical errors, why they happen, and how you can claim compensation.
What Are the Most Common Surgical Errors?
Some surgical errors happen more often than you might think. While many surgeries go smoothly, mistakes can and do occur. These include:
- Wrong-site surgery, such as operating on the wrong limb or organ
- Retained surgical instruments, when items like sponges or tools are left inside the body
- Nerve or organ damage caused by careless surgical technique
- Anaesthetic errors, including giving too much, too little or the wrong type
- Infection, often linked to poor hygiene or failure to follow safety procedures
These errors can lead to serious complications, prolonged recovery or further surgery. If you’ve experienced the above, you may have a case for compensation for surgical errors.
Why Do These Surgical Errors Happen?
Surgical errors are often the result of negligence, not just accidents. Common causes include:
- Poor communication between medical staff
- Inadequate pre-operative planning
- Surgeon fatigue or inexperience
- Failure to follow safety checklists
- Neglecting standard hygiene procedures
At ASL Solicitors in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, we investigate what went wrong and why. If your care fell below the accepted standard, we’ll help you pursue a medical negligence claim with confidence.
How Do You Know If You Have a Medical Negligence Claim?
To succeed in a medical negligence claim, you must show that:
- The medical professional owed you a duty of care
- That duty was breached (for example, a mistake was made)
- You suffered injury or harm as a direct result
Our team will assess your situation in detail. If we believe you have a strong case, we’ll gather evidence and expert medical opinions to support your claim. As one of the best medical negligence solicitors in Greater Manchester, we know what’s needed to build a strong case.
What Can You Claim For?
If you’ve suffered harm due to a surgical error, your compensation may include:
