Examples of where people may have a valid claim for injury can include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Unnecessary surgery where you only find out it wasn\u2019t required after the procedure;<\/li>\n<li>Mistakes during surgery, such as accidental damage to surrounding areas or the wrong part being operated on;<\/li>\n<li>Inadequate aftercare that leads to complications from surgery developing;<\/li>\n<li>Inadequate advice about risks before surgery or care after surgery that leads to problems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Some operations have inherent risks where surrounding tissue could be damaged, and there may be no way of preventing this. However, these are risks that should be properly explained to you before you have the procedure. If they weren\u2019t, you may have a case.<\/p>\n<p>Also, if unavoidable damage occurs during the surgery, it should (in many cases) be sorted and corrected as much as is possible there and then. If you discover that you need another operation because incidental damage wasn\u2019t corrected in the first procedure when it could have been, you may have a case.<\/p>\n<p>Circumstances involving the wrong body part is operated on is a clear case of negligence in most scenarios.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>No Win, No Fee representation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We can offer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themedicalnegligencelawyers.com\/no-win-no-fee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>No Win, No Fee representation<\/strong><\/a> for surgery compensation claims.
