Surgical error - £6,750 settlement

Our client underwent surgery on an abdominal injury, following the operation she experienced a slight complication and as a result a drain was inserted. Three days later the drain was removed, however our client was still suffering from severe pain, after a month she underwent a full body scan the results of which revealed that a piece of drain around 18 inches long had been left inside her abdomen.

 

Due to the negligence in failing to remove the drain at the first attempt she had to undergo further unnecessary surgery and experienced severe pain in the mean time, our clinical negligence solicitors were able to secure a £6,750 settlement for our client.
