Examples of Hernia surgery errors which lead to a medical negligence claim 

While there can be problems through no fault of the medical professionals, complications can also occur as a result of negligent medical treatment.  There may be a claim for medical negligence if:

• you were not properly advised of the risks, benefits and alternative treatments available to you
• during the course of the procedure, the Surgeon damages organs such as the bowel, bladder, testes or vessels such as the aorta
• the Surgeon placed the mesh in the wrong place causing injury to the nerves, blood vessels and/or organs
• the Surgeon placed tacks or similar to fix the mesh causing injury to the nerves, blood vessels and/or organs

How a compensation claim can help

You could be entitled to financial compensation which can help to take the pressure off at a very stressful time. Plus, you may have lasting complications, require ongoing treatment or need additional surgery in the future. Financial compensation could help provide security and stability for the future, including provision for your care requirements.
