Anaesthetic Negligence Claims: Protecting Your Rights After Medical Mistakes
Anaesthesia is essential for many medical procedures, ensuring patients do not experience pain. However, errors in administering anaesthesia can have severe, lifelong consequences. If you have suffered due to negligence during anaesthesia, you may be entitled to compensation through a medical negligence claim.
Understanding Anaesthetic Negligence Claims
Errors in anaesthesia administration can occur at any stage, from pre-surgical preparation to post-operative monitoring. Some of the most common types of anaesthetic negligence include:
- Incorrect injections to the spinal cord or nerves, leading to paralysis or chronic pain
- Brain damage or strokes due to improper anaesthesia administration
- Incorrect dosage, either too much or too little, causing severe complications
- Failure to monitor vital signs properly, leading to preventable injuries
- Lack of oxygen supply, resulting in brain damage or fatal outcomes
- Allergic reactions caused by failure to review medical history
These mistakes can lead to significant suffering, financial losses, and long-term health complications. If you believe you have been affected, our medical negligence solicitors can provide expert legal guidance.
What Can You Claim Compensation For?
Every case of medical negligence is unique, and the level of compensation awarded depends on several factors. Potential damages that may be included in your UK medical negligence claim include:
- General damages for the pain, suffering, and loss of quality of life caused by negligence
- Special damages, such as lost earnings, medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and home adaptations
- Ongoing care costs, including physiotherapy, specialist treatment, and in-home care services
Our experienced solicitors in Rochdale are dedicated to securing the compensation you deserve, ensuring your financial stability as you recover.
What is Classed as Medical Negligence?
Healthcare professionals are expected to provide competent and safe care. If they fail to meet this standard and cause harm, they may be held accountable through a medical negligence claim.
A common example of medical negligence includes unnecessary surgeries that result in further harm. Other examples include delayed diagnosis, failure to recognise complications, and incorrect treatments. If you or a loved one has suffered due to such errors, our injury claim solicitors can help you seek justice.
