Cosmetic Surgery No Win No Fee Claims

When you go under the knife to have cosmetic surgery your surgeon or his/her team should fully explain all of the risks with the procedure. You will no doubt be aware that every operation carries all kinds of inherent risks. There are general risks of pain, chronic pain, scarring, infection etc that are fairly common in most procedures. Even the general risks, which apply to probably all operations can develop and lead to significant injuries and even death. Unfortunately all operations, however minor, carry an element of risk. You do have the right to be notified of the risks in full and the likelihood of the risk actually occurring. Even with cosmetic surgery, you may be entitled to make a claim should things go wrong. This is a specialised area of law and it is therefore essential that you speak to a legal specialist that deals in this kind of work.

Many of these types of claims are often to do with botox or beauty treatment. However claims could be made in respect of any cosmetic surgery should things go wrong; despite the fact the procedure is cosmetic. If you are not happy with the cosmetic surgery or you have been left in undue pain or you have been left with injuries, or if you were not correctly advised about any potential risks / side effects, you may have a genuine claim for compensation.

Due to changes in the law that have come in to effect from April 2013, compensation claims are now financed differently to the way we are all used to seeing them. However we may still be able to fund claims that we accept on the basis of a no win no fee agreement. Our no win no fee, generally speaking, does exactly what it says on the tin – if the claim doesn’t win you don’t have to pay our fees. It is imperative that you seek advice from an experienced firm of personal injury lawyers.

According to statistics, more people are going under the knife for cosmetic surgery. Some people opt to get the treatment done abroad as it can be cheaper; however this perhaps carries a greater degree of risk as the rules and laws in foreign countries may not be as tight as ours. The quality of the work you have done may also be substandard when you compare it to the UK. The whole point of cosmetic surgery is to improve your appearance, not make it worse. However should something go wrong then the effects could be disastrous.

Cosmetic surgery is wide ranging but can include liposuction, botox, facelifts, tummy tucks, gastric bands, laser eye surgery, breast implants, and many other common procedures. If the results are not as you expected or if something does go wrong, you may be entitled to make a compensation claim. Make sure you speak to professional injury lawyers.
