    Spinal surgery claims

    Spinal surgery can be a life-changing event helping to fix a serious injury and relieve pain that may have impacted your everyday life for years.

    However, when a mistake or error is made during spinal surgery, the effects can leave you facing pro-longed injuries or other health problems for the rest of your life.

    Our medical negligence solicitors have extensive experience supporting individuals following negligence in spinal surgery and throughh this experience, can help you identify failures in the care you received before, during or after your surgery that has led to your surgery’s bad outcome.

    Injuries from Spinal Surgery Negligence

    Finding out you need spinal surgery is already a traumatic experience. Waking up from the surgery to realise that something may not have gone according to plan is an even more difficult thing to deal with.

    It is really important that your doctor explains all possible risks before performing your surgery and that they give you all the information needed to make an informed decision. Even in the most routine spinal surgeries, mistakes can happen. This can lead to infection and may cause additional surgery.

    Some of the potential issues associated with complications in spinal surgeries include:

    • Delays in surgery causing additional health complications
    • Infection due to a surgery
    • Sepsis
    • Issues around anaesthesia
    • Unnecessary surgeries because of a mistake in diagnosis
    • Operating on the wrong part of the spine
    • Nerve damage
    • Spinal cord damage
    • Surgical after care
    • Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) / blood clots
    • Persistent Pain
    • Sexual dysfunction
    • Transitional syndrome
