Anaesthetic Awareness Claims

Finding yourself still awake during an operation can be a traumatic and frightening experience. Although this is very rare, patients can not only suffer pain but feel helpless. Some of the errors lead to a serious psychological damage - depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Nerve injuries/ spinal cord injuries

Occasionally people can suffer injuries when anaesthetics are mistakenly injected into the spinal cord and nerves are damaged by injections. These injuries can result in pain and serious disability.

Brain damage/stroke

Where anaesthetists make mistakes during operation patients can suffer very serious injuries. In the worse cases people have been brain damaged or suffered strokes because their blood pressure has not been regulated properly.

Importance of claiming damages

Where people are left with severe disabilities obtaining awards of damages can be extremely important in making sure they have the best quality of life in the future.
Awards can help them to have:

· The best medical care, including private treatment, cutting out delays, ensuring a high standard of care and greater comfort;
· Help with nursing at home;
· Assistance with household tasks;
· An award for the loss of their income.
