What is cardiothoracic negligence?
Negligence during heart surgery can vary greatly, but if it has caused you illness or injury or you were mislead about the procedure and are now facing consequences, you can make a claim. This is not to be confused with cardiology, which refers to the misdiagnosis of a heart condition, for more information on that you can visit our cardiology page.
You can claim for:
- Negligent errors during surgery
- Post surgical infections
One of our cases:
Our client sought our help after suffering infective endocarditis following a heart transplant. Unfortunately, he did not receive suitable care after the transplant. This results in an infection which caused many blood clots to form around his body and cause permanent damage. This negligence has led to a decrease in our client’s life expectancy.
