Surgical Errors
Surgical Negligence Solicitors in Cheltenham
If you’ve suffered harm due to a surgical mistake, you may be entitled to compensation. At Pembridge Solicitors, we support clients across Cheltenham and Gloucestershire who have experienced avoidable errors during surgery — helping them pursue justice and the financial support they need to recover.
Surgical procedures carry risks, but when those risks arise from negligence, the consequences can be life-changing. We’re here to hold healthcare providers accountable and ensure your voice is heard.
What Is a Surgical Error?
A surgical error occurs when a surgeon, anaesthetist, or medical team fails to follow the standard of care expected during a procedure. This can include:
- Operating on the wrong part of the body
- Leaving surgical instruments inside the patient
- Errors with anaesthesia
- Infections caused by poor hygiene
- Damage to internal organs or nerves
- Surgery performed without informed consent
- Unnecessary or inappropriate surgery
If the care you received fell below medical standards and caused you harm, you may have grounds for a surgical negligence claim.
Common Surgical Claims We Handle
We represent clients who have experienced errors in:
- General surgery (e.g. hernia, appendix, gallbladder)
- Orthopaedic surgery (bones, joints, or spine)
- Cosmetic or plastic surgery
- Gynaecological or obstetric procedures
- Eye or dental surgery
- Emergency and trauma surgery
We work with independent medical experts to assess what went wrong and how it could have been prevented.
What Can You Claim Compensation For?
If your claim is successful, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Pain and suffering caused by the error
- Costs of corrective surgery or further treatment
- Loss of income or future earning potential
- Care needs and mobility aids
- Psychological impact
- Long-term disability or reduced quality of life
We’ll help ensure your compensation fully reflects the effect the error has had on your life.
