Death in Surgery
Darbys Medical Negligence Solicitors have experience dealing with compensation claims for death due to surgical negligence. If you have lost a loved one as the result of an error made during surgery, then you have a legitimate right to sue the negligent hospital / medical professional for compensation.
Our medical negligence solicitors understand that no amount of money can replace the loss of a loved one. Claiming compensation after the loss of a loved one, however, can help ease financial worries from any loss of income and support. Your claim for death in surgery may also help you get an explanation of what happened and even an apology.
If you have lost a loved one due to medical negligence during a surgical procedure and wish to make a surgery malpractice claim, then please contact Darbys Solicitors on 0800 524 4349 or complete our online Contact Form to speak to our specialist legal team.
Death following Surgery
Frequently mistakes during surgery lead to post surgical complications, patient deterioration, and if investigations and remedial surgery is not undertaken promptly can lead to long term morbidity and death.
Frequently patients survive surgery only to deteriorate on the ward from a complication of surgery. These signs can be ignored by busy nurses and doctors, interpreted conveniently as normal post surgical presentation when in fact the patient is deteriorating and requires urgent investigation and remedial surgery.
The delays in identifying complications of surgery are as, or sometimes even more responsible for the death of the patient as the initial mistakes.
