This is a real-life case study featuring one of our clients who had to undergo a second operation as a result of his surgeon’s negligence.
Our client went into hospital for routine surgery to remove a large lipoma (which is a fat deposit under the skin) from his arm.
Despite the lump being obvious and easy to both see and feel, the surgeon failed to find it during the surgery and the lump was not removed. No feasible explanation was ever given for the surgeon’s failure.
Our client therefore had to undergo the stress of a further surgical operation to solve the problem, something which should not have been necessary had the surgeon got it right first time.
The client contacted our medical accident team for a free review of his case. We advised that he had grounds to seek compensation for surgical negligence and agreed to work on a No Win, No Fee basis.
With our help, he made the surgical negligence claim, and our team succeeded in recovering compensation for the need for him to ‘go under the knife’ twice, instead of once.
The settlement was reached out of court, which meant that there was no need for a formal trial.
