Compensation For Nerve Damage After Surgery.

Nerve injuries can have a profound impact on an individual’s quality of life, often resulting in chronic pain, loss of sensation, or even impaired mobility.

While many nerve injuries heal with time and appropriate treatment, others may cause long-term damage, particularly if they are the result of medical negligence.

If you have suffered a nerve injury due to the negligent actions of a healthcare professional, you may be entitled to make a nerve injury negligence claim. Our team at Lanyon Bowdler is here to support you through the legal process and help you secure the compensation you deserve.

Understanding Nerve Injury Negligence

Nerve injuries occur when the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves, is damaged. These injuries can lead to a wide range of symptoms, including pain, numbness, tingling, muscle weakness, or even paralysis. Nerve injuries can happen during various medical procedures, especially surgeries, and may result from mistakes made during the operation, incorrect treatment, or inadequate post-operative care.

Nerve injury negligence occurs when healthcare professionals fail to provide the necessary standard of care, resulting in harm to the patient. This may arise in situations such as:

  • Surgical errors: Surgeons may inadvertently damage nerves during procedures, particularly in surgeries involving the spine, arms, or legs. This can happen due to improper handling of surgical instruments, lack of care in protecting nerves during the operation, or failure to use imaging guidance when necessary.
  • Anaesthesia errors: Nerve damage can also occur due to errors in administering anaesthesia, especially during epidurals or spinal blocks. Incorrect needle placement or excessive force during injection can lead to permanent nerve damage.
  • Delayed diagnosis: Failing to promptly diagnose and treat conditions such as slipped discs, infections, or tumours can result in nerve compression or damage over time, worsening the patient’s condition.
  • Inadequate post-operative care: Proper monitoring and rehabilitation are crucial after surgery to avoid complications such as nerve damage from infections, blood clots, or poor healing. If medical staff neglect to provide appropriate follow-up care, nerve injuries can develop or worsen.

These situations can leave patients with lifelong consequences, impacting their mobility, independence, and quality of life.

If you have experienced any of these situations and suffered a nerve injury as a result, you may be entitled to seek compensation for the harm caused by negligent medical treatment.

Your Nerve Injury Questions Answered

How do I know if my nerve injury was caused by negligence?

Determining whether a nerve injury resulted from negligence can be complex, but some key indicators may help. If your injury occurred following a medical procedure, such as surgery or an injection, and you were not adequately informed of the risks, or if you experienced unusual complications without proper follow-up care, it is worth investigating further. Seeking a second medical opinion can help clarify whether the care you received was below expected standards.

If you suspect negligence, it is essential to contact a specialist medical negligence solicitor who can assess the specifics of your case and guide you on whether you have grounds for a claim.

What are the symptoms of Nerve Injury?

Nerve injuries can vary in severity, but the most common symptoms include:

  • Chronic pain or a persistent burning or tingling sensation
  • Numbness or loss of sensation in certain parts of the body
  • Muscle weakness or difficulty moving certain limbs
  • Impaired coordination or balance issues
  • Loss of function in affected areas, which may include the inability to perform daily tasks or continue working in certain professions
What are the consequences of Nerve Injury Negligence?

The effects of nerve injury negligence can be devastating. Depending on the extent of the damage, patients may experience a wide range of physical, emotional, and financial challenges. Physically, nerve damage can lead to chronic pain, loss of sensation, or loss of motor function in the affected areas. This can make it difficult to carry out everyday tasks, work, or participate in activities that were once part of normal life.

In some cases, nerve damage may require further surgery, rehabilitation, or long-term medical care. Unfortunately, nerve injuries can also cause emotional distress, including anxiety, depression, or frustration, particularly when the damage is irreversible. The psychological impact can be just as significant as the physical limitations, making it essential that patients receive comprehensive care.

Financially, nerve injuries can lead to significant expenses, including medical bills, rehabilitation costs, and potential loss of income due to an inability to work. Pursuing a nerve injury negligence claim can help secure compensation to cover these costs and alleviate some of the burdens associated with ongoing care.

In cases where nerve injuries result from negligence, these symptoms can significantly impact your physical and emotional well-being, potentially requiring ongoing medical treatment and rehabilitation.
