Surgery can be an overwhelming event for many people, but there may come a time when surgery is the only option. You would hope to undergo the operation quickly and without incident under the care of a trained professional and would hope that your recovery would be painless and straightforward.
However it is not that simple in some cases and if you feel that your surgeon was negligent towards you and that your surgery has had complications, you may be eligible for a claim. If the operation was not a success and you were required to have further surgery after to correct, you may be entitled to compensation.

Frequently asked questions about Failed or Wrong Surgical Procedure Claims
Our expert legal team answer your questions about making a Failed or Wrong Surgical Procedure Claim
If you have experienced a failed surgical procedure, the best advice we can give is to first speak to the hospital or healthcare provider to see if your issue can be rectified. Once you have spoken to them and if your issue has not been dealt with you could make a complaint to the healthcare provider.
If you believe negligence is the cause for the failed surgical procedure, you may be able to make a claim within three years of the negligence occurring or when the effects of the negligence are first noticeable. In cases involving anyone under 18, the legal case must be pursued within three years from the date of their 18th birthday.
To help prove that negligence contributed to your wrong surgical procedure, there are various types of evidence that might be needed and you should speak to your solicitor to understand exactly what is needed for your claim. Some of the common types of evidence required are medical records, notes of conversations and photographic/video evidence of the incidents you experienced.
The amount of compensation you may be entitled to for a failed surgical claim will depend on the circumstances involved in your claim. Every claim is different; meaning that the final compensation pay-out is based on the severity of your suffering as a result of the negligence. Many factors are considered, including the impact on your health, medical expenses, and any loss of earnings.

Case Study
Sarah's Story
"Now we have peace of mind"
My husband, Nick, went back and forth to the doctors for a long time and tried everything the doctor recommended. But his illness got worse, to the point that he was in agony.
In the end we got so desperate that we asked for a referral. The doctor was reluctant, so we had to consult a private hospital. That’s when we found out there was a tumour. It took years from the onset of his illness to finally start cancer treatment.
He used to be a man with a lot to live for, but in the end he was in so much pain that he withdrew from the family. He became angry that nobody had helped him sooner, and the legal team were able to give him the validation that he was desperately seeking. The NHS confirmed if they had done more, Nick would still be alive today.
