The BBC Panorama documentary “How safe is your operation?” which aired on 16 October 2017, identified worrying accounts of patients injured through private medical treatment.
The short answer to this question is that our legal system, like any other human endeavour, is not immune to change, and neither should it be. I have been a lawyer for over 30 years, and during my career I have seen many changes. Some have made things worse for the injured people that I represent, but others have made things much better, and at Kingsley Napley we are always trying to refine and develop the way in which we work.
News broke this week that hundreds of women were suing the NHS and the manufacturers of vaginal mesh implants after facing serious health complications. Women have been left unable to walk, work or have sex as a result of the treatment, with many sufferers claiming they were never informed of the potential dangers before having the mesh fitted.
Medical treatment does not always go to plan. Mistakes can cause patients to suffer an injury. Some patients will simply want an explanation or an apology. Some will ask for financial compensation (or “damages”) for the mistakes made. All will want reassurance that such mistakes will not happen again to others.
