Nerve Damage Compensation Claims

Medical surgeons perform a multitude of different surgical treatments to assist patients with many varying conditions and, in most of the situations they deal with, they perform their duties to an extremely high standard. However, sometimes mistakes do happen in surgery which can lead to nerve damage. If you have suffered nerve damage following a surgical procedure, you may be able to bring a claim for compensation against the surgeon or hospital that treated you. On this page, you will find general information to consider before making your claim, together with details of how our team can help you.

Bringing a Nerve Damage Compensation Claim

Nerves are delicate and can be easily damaged during a surgical procedure. Medical staff are trained to understand the risk of nerve damage by assessing the location of nerves before implementing the surgery. Sometimes they may get this wrong and cause damage to you with ongoing ramifications. If you have suffered due to one of the following issues, our team might be able to take on your case and help you to bring your compensation claim.

Muscle weakness – you have felt debilitating levels of weakness following your surgery.
Shooting pains – you have felt persistent pains in the affected parts of your body following the surgery.
Altered sensations – you have experienced debilitating changes to the quality of your life following surgery, such as altered vision or hearing.
Hot and cold sweats – your quality of life has been affected by dramatic changes in your temperament.
Paralysis and immobility – the surgery has directly led to your inability to move certain limbs or has resulted in complete paralysis.

If you have suffered nerve damage and it has resulted in any of the issues above, it is important to document the details of your experience as soon as you are able to. You should then seek the advice of specialist medical negligence solicitors, who will investigate your claim and help you to determine your case and its likely outcome in terms of compensation.
