It's a shocking situation to be in, and understandably you have questions. Whether you have a potential claim depends on a few factors:
- Was the mistake avoidable? Surgeons are human, and sometimes errors happen. But if it was due to carelessness or incompetence, you may have a case.
- Were you harmed? If the wrong surgery didn't actually damage your health, a claim is less likely.
- Were you fully informed of risks? You should have been given clear information about the procedure and its potential complications beforehand.
- It's complex, so get advice: Don't try to figure this out alone. A specialist medical negligence solicitor can assess your situation honestly. They understand the standard of care you should have received.
