Expert Guidance for Surgical Negligence Claims Dublin
Surgery is never without risk, but when something goes wrong due to medical negligence rather than unavoidable complications, you may have legal grounds to make a claim.
Mistakes during surgery can have serious, even life-altering consequences, from prolonged pain to permanent disability. Our specialist medical negligence solicitors are here to help you pursue justice and fair compensation.
We understand that undergoing surgery is often a stressful and emotional experience. When it results in additional pain, complications or trauma because of avoidable mistakes, it can feel overwhelming. That’s why we are committed to supporting you with compassionate legal advice.
What Is Surgical Negligence?
Surgical negligence occurs when a healthcare provider such as a surgeon, anaesthetist or surgical nurse fails to provide an acceptable standard of care and this failure causes injury or unnecessary suffering. While not every poor outcome amounts to negligence, there are clear cases where substandard care is the direct cause of harm.
Some examples of surgical negligence claims Dublin include:
- Performing the wrong procedure or operating on the wrong site
- Leaving surgical instruments or materials inside the patient
- Causing nerve, organ or tissue damage due to carelessness
- Failing to properly monitor the patient during or after the procedure
- Anaesthesia errors, such as incorrect dosage or failure to intubate properly
- Infections or complications arising from poor hygiene or aftercare
- Lack of informed consent prior to the procedure
Errors like these are preventable and can have devastating long-term effects. Our solicitors will ensure those responsible are held accountable and that you receive financial compensation to support your recovery and wellbeing.
Do I Have a Surgical Negligence Case?
If you experienced complications or injury during or after surgery and you believe it was due to negligent care, you may be eligible to pursue a claim. Establishing medical negligence involves proving:
- Duty of Care: That a healthcare professional owed you a legal duty to act with reasonable skill and care.
- Breach of Duty:
That their actions (or lack thereof) fell below the standard expected from a competent medical professional.
- Causation:
That this breach directly caused your injury, harm or suffering.
Our surgical negligence solicitors Dublin will work with independent medical experts to assess your case and provide the evidence required to support your claim. These cases can often be complicated, but with the right legal support, you can move forward with confidence.
What Compensation Can I Claim?
Every surgical negligence case is unique and the compensation awarded will depend on the severity of your injuries and the impact on your life. Generally, compensation can cover:
- Physical pain and suffering
- Emotional distress or psychological trauma
- Medical expenses for corrective treatments or ongoing care
- Loss of earnings and future earning potential
- Costs related to rehabilitation, therapy or mobility aids
- Travel and care costs
In addition to financial damages, bringing a claim can also help prevent similar incidents from happening to others by highlighting failures within the healthcare system.
