Examples of ENT medical negligence claims

Mistakes during medical treatment or surgery to the ear, nose and throat can cause long-term damage. We have experience and expertise helping patients who have suffered sub-standard ENT treatment.  Common examples include:

• not properly discussing the risks and benefits of the treatment with you or any other treatment options 
• misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of throat, neck, nose and sinus tumours such as cancer of the larynx, pharynx, nose, sinus and nasopharynx
• mismanagement of abnormal skin growths in the middle section of the ear (cholesteatomas)
• mismanagement of ear infections leading to hearing loss
• misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of hearing problems such as Otosclerosis, leading to deafness
• dizziness or vertigo (vestibular dysfunction) arising from ototoxicity (damage to the ear as a side effect of medication such as Gentamicin)
• negligent surgery resulting in:
• damage to the facial nerve causing facial weakness/paralysis 
• damage to the skull/eye socket during sinus surgery 
• loss of smell or taste 
• vocal cord damage 
• negligently performed tonsillectomy.

How a compensation claim can help 

A claim can help you move forward and aid in your recovery. Compensation can cover the cost of care, adapted housing and specialist equipment or treatment (such as hearing aids or surgery). It can also provide financial security for your future.
