Compensation Claims Solicitors

There are many examples of surgical mistakes which include:

  • Performing the wrong type of operation;
  • Accidentally perforating organs;
  • Sub-standard orthopaedic surgery (e.g. knee, hip or spinal operations);
  • Leaving items inside the body after surgery, such as swabs or surgical implements;
  • Causing damage to nerves, tissues or veins during surgery;
  • Negligent bariatric surgery (a range of operations to treat obesity);
  • Infections following surgery and / or failure to properly treat a surgical infection;
  • Damage to the bladder or bowel;
  • Mistakes during hysterectomy / caesarean section;
  • Mistakes during plastic surgery / cosmetic surgery;
  • Mistakes after operations leading to complications;
  • Failure to diagnose damage after an operation, leading to complications;
  • Anaesthetic awareness (waking up or being partially conscious during the operation); and
  • Negligent eye surgery.

Mistakes in surgery can cause a prolonged recovery time, additional pain, psychological damage and, in more serious injuries, permanent disability, paralysis and even death.

Frequently Asked Questions

Medical Negligence

You can make a claim for surgical negligence and gain compensation for pain, suffering, loss of amenities and loss of earnings due to surgical mistake or negligence. You should consider making a claim if a surgical error has prolonged your recovery time, caused you psychological damage or resulted in a permanent disability, paralysis or death of a loved one.

Surgical negligence damages are always calculated on a case by case basis. The severity of the injuries play a factor, but in cases of a fatality, if anyone was dependant on the deceased, there could be a further claim for loss of dependency.

After our son had an accident at work resulting in life-changing injuries, we were given the name of this law firm to help us deal with the aftermath. Ben Davey and his team were efficient, friendly and caring and, after a great deal of hard work, we achieved a very satisfactory outcome for our son. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this firm.

Great service and expertise during a tricky case and time in my life. Ben was brilliant and did his best to understand the confusing world of motorsport and translate to the legal world in the best way possible.

Ben Davey and Tom Saady Gardiner supported us through navigating our son’s inquest. With the professionalism of Dean Wilson, delivered by Ben and our Barrister, the outcome of the inquest recognised the failings in our son’s care, which was the outcome we had hoped to achieve. Tom’s empathy and kindness was greatly appreciated over the course of the 5 day inquest. If you find yourself in this unenviable position then we would not hesitate in recommending Dean Wilson to help you navigate this overwhelming process.

My experience with Dean Wilson was an excellent one. At the start of my claim, I didn’t understand what was going on and how it worked but thanks to Ben Davey, Jessica Edwards and the rest of the team who helped me comprehend how the claim works from start to finish and was always ready to give advice.

I had a case of medical negligence and I can’t praise Ben Davey enough. I was kept informed of everything all throughout my case which took a long time but was there to help all the way. I would highly recommend to anyone who needed help and my claim was settled way beyond what we expected.

My father sadly lost his sight due to a failure in the system in the NHS, from the moment we raised this with the team led by Ben Davey we felt in safe and trusted hands. Things were made easy for me to assist my father we came to very pragmatic conclusion to ensure my dad’s last days can be improved. Professional, supportive, timely, and kind would be my summary. Highly recommended.

I can’t thank Dean Wilson enough for what they did for me after I was involved in a horrific road traffic accident, followed by major surgery and long rehabilitation. Ben and Tom followed my case and patiently explained to me the legal intricacies of personal injury claims. They always replied promptly to my queries using easily understandable terms. They were professional throughout, extremely competent and, last but not least, very kind and empathic.
