What’s my Claim Worth successfully deal with cases where errors have been made using anaesthetic all the time. We have a specialist team with a medical background therefore able to offer a professional service for those with anaesthetic error compensation claims.
Undergoing surgery can be very stressful and unfortunately mistakes can be made. Before any operation you will be treated by an anaesthetist who will provide one of two types of anaesthetic: local or general.
An error made by anaesthetists can be very serious no matter how small the mistake. Serious injuries can include damage to nerves or the spinal cord and brain damage. It is also possible to suffer psychological injuries due to your experience.
The amount of compensation you will be able to claim will depend on the facts of your case. Things that will be taken into account include whether the injury you have suffered from is long term, if you need any extra care and also the seriousness of the error.
It was reported that a hospital has admitted liability for the injuries sustained by a young girl after anaesthetic was left in her spine too long during an operation. The bottom half of her body is now paralysed and as a result will not be able to walk again. This is one example of what can happen when a mistake is made in regards to anaesthetic and is something the What’s my Claim Worth team will be able to help with.
What’s my Claim Worth have successfully settled the claim for a client who was injured by the anaesthetist during an operation. The client unfortunately lost a tooth whilst being anaesthetised and suffered a lot of pain because of this. The tooth was not found and could have possibly been swallowed by our client. Due to this error our client had trouble eating and had to have a denture fitted to relieve some of the pain. For his injury and the pain he suffered our client received £1,500 compensation.
