Knee Surgery Compensation Claims
Negligent knee surgery can be life-changing and may justify a claim for compensation.
Compensation claims
If you or a loved one are struggling with the consequences of medical negligence related to knee surgery, it may be possible to make a claim for compensation.
A successful compensation claim would address issues such as a loss of income if you are no longer able to work or if you have had to change your hours or occupation resulting in a reduced income.
In addition, if you now require assistance in either personal care or with household or daily tasks as a consequence of the negligent knee surgery, such costs could be incorporated into a successful claim.
Negligent knee surgery
Medical negligence related to knee surgery can vary in both its nature and its consequences.
- A medical professional may use an inappropriate technique or in some other way cause injury to the patient during the course of their surgery, resulting in a failed operation, on-going pain and possibly the need for further surgery to rectify the problem. Negligence resulting in damage to a nerve may compromise the patient's mobility still further.
- A medical professional may use an incorrect implant in the course of knee surgery, resulting in pain and debility for the patient and the need for further surgery
- A failure of a risk assessment or a failure to provide prophylactic antibiotics when appropriate may result in an infection in the joint. This can cause the failure of the surgery and necessitate further surgery. An infection in the joint may trigger sepsis, putting the patient's life at risk.
When to claim compensation
It may be appropriate to make a claim for compensation if you have suffered from negligent care which has caused you to suffer a worse outcome than would otherwise have been the case and which has caused you also to suffer significant financial losses.
If this is the case, you should speak with a specialist solicitor at the earliest possible moment. They will need to undertake a thorough investigation into the quality of your medical care and identify whether or not there has, in fact, been any negligence and what impact it has had on you.
