Orthopaedic injury negligence occurs when a medical professional fails to provide an acceptable standard of care, resulting in harm or worsening of an orthopaedic condition. Orthopaedic injuries affect the musculoskeletal system, including bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves. These injuries can result from various causes, such as accidents, sports activities, or underlying health conditions, and range from minor sprains to severe fractures.
In cases of orthopaedic injury negligence, medical professionals may fail to diagnose, treat, or manage an injury correctly, which can lead to unnecessary suffering or complications for the patient. If you have experienced an avoidable injury after orthopaedic treatment, we encourage you to contact our expert medical negligence solicitors to discuss your case.
Orthopaedics focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions involving the musculoskeletal system. Many orthopaedic injury claims arise from surgical procedures, such as joint replacements or operations to correct fractures. We frequently handle cases involving knee and hip replacements, leg, foot, and ankle surgery, and surgery to treat injuries to the hand, arm, shoulder, or collarbone.
Even highly trained orthopaedic surgeons can make mistakes, and if you have suffered an avoidable injury as a result of orthopaedic surgery, our team of specialist solicitors can provide the support and advice you need to pursue a claim.
Orthopaedic injury negligence can result in severe and enduring consequences that affect various aspects of an individual’s life, including physical health, emotional well-being, financial stability, and overall quality of life.
Negligently caused injuries can lead to chronic pain, permanent disabilities, delayed recovery, infections, and reduced mobility, making everyday tasks and physical activities challenging. On an emotional and psychological level, individuals may experience anxiety, depression, or strained personal relationships. Financially, the costs of ongoing treatment and potential lost income can place additional strain on individuals and their families. Socially, severe injuries may require significant lifestyle adjustments, such as changes in career or increased dependence on others for daily tasks.
Determining if you have been a victim of orthopaedic injury negligence involves evaluating several factors. Firstly, you must establish that the medical professional responsible for your care owed you a duty of care. This is typically straightforward in medical negligence claims. Next, it must be shown that the professional breached this duty by failing to act in a way that would be expected of a reasonably competent professional under similar circumstances.
In the UK, this is assessed using the Bolam test, which considers whether the actions of the medical professional align with accepted standards in their field. Additionally, the Bolitho addendum applies to ensure that any defence based on accepted practice must also be reasonable and logical.
Finally, it must be proven that this breach of duty directly caused or worsened your injury. Our team at Lanyon Bowdler will gather the necessary medical evidence, including expert opinions, to evaluate whether the standard of care was met. Common indicators of negligence include misdiagnosis, surgical errors, or a failure to properly respond to injuries. If you believe you have been affected, we can help assess the validity of your claim.
Yes, you may be eligible to receive compensation if it can be proven that your injury was caused or worsened by negligent care. Our specialist medical negligence solicitors can help you explore your options and determine your eligibility for compensation.
The duration of a medical negligence claim varies depending on the complexity of the case, the availability of evidence, and the responsiveness of the defendant. Many claims are resolved through negotiations without going to court, which can take several months. However, if court proceedings are required, the process may take longer, sometimes extending over several years. The initial investigation phase typically takes up to 12 months to determine whether a claim is viable. Engaging a specialised medical negligence solicitor early in the process can help manage the timeline and ensure you are kept fully informed at every step.
