What Is Surgical Negligence?
Surgery negligence claims arise when a patient is harmed because a healthcare professional failed to meet the reasonable standard of care. Common examples of surgical negligence include:
- Operating on the wrong site
- Leaving surgical instruments in the body
- Poor surgical technique causing long-term damage
- Infections after doctors failed to maintain proper hygiene
- Excessive blood loss or blood pressure mismanagement
- Health care provided was not in line with medical laws
If you’ve suffered harm due to negligent surgery, our specialist medical negligence solicitors can help you make a medical negligence claim. In any cases where negligent care has meant that someone has suffered injury, financial compensation could be due.
Can I Claim Surgical Negligence Compensation?
You may be eligible to claim compensation if:
- You experienced pain or injury from a surgical mistake
- A misdiagnosis led to unnecessary or delayed surgery
- Surgery made your condition worse
- You’ve lost income or quality of life due to the mistake
Our team will gather medical records, consult with independent medical experts, and build a strong case to support your negligence claim. At PR Scully we advise potential medical negligence clients to seek free initial advice from our clinical negligence solicitors to determine if negligence happened or not.

What Compensation Could You Receive?
How much compensation you may receive depends on the severity of your injury and its impact on your life. Compensation can cover:
- Medical treatment and future care costs
- Lost income and rehabilitation expenses
- Pain, suffering, and loss of amenity
- Mental health support and counselling
Medical negligence compensation received by our clients can vary greatly based on the circumstances around your claim. Although many medical negligence cases end up with an out-of-court settlement, our team is ready to fight for every penny for you, which includes representing you in court if need be.
When Do I Make A Claim?
The time limit for bringing a medical negligence claim is three years – from the date of the negligent act or omission, or from the date the claimant became aware of the negligence.
However, there are exceptions, such as for children or individuals lacking mental capacity. In the cases of children, it is ok to wait for them to reach 18 before the 3-year time limit starts. Alternatively, a parent or guardian can claim compensation on the child’s behalf.
