Our specialist personal injury lawyers have particular experience in representing victims for cosmetic surgery claims ranging from breast augmentation, laser eye surgery, hair removal procedures, facial surgery, and many other forms of cosmetic procedures.
There are concerns over the regulation of the industry as a whole and many procedures and high street practices have been called in to question following complaints from patients about poor quality work and a lack of information. The industry is worth millions and intensive marketing campaigns can be seen everywhere.
So what happens when something goes wrong?
We pay thousands of pounds for these procedures because we want to improve something we are not happy with. Whether it’s purely about your appearance or whether it’s about improving your quality of life, we expect excellent results when we part ways with our hard earned cash for procedures and treatments that can cost tens of thousands of pounds.
When it comes to your rights as the victim of negligence, there are many laws we can call upon – one notable piece of legislation is the Supply of Goods and Services Act. We expect certain results and quality when it comes to cosmetic procedures so if a product or a service is not up to scratch, you have the right to pursue a claim.
Two of the main reasons people end up claiming is because the procedure hasn’t been done correctly or because they were not properly informed about the risks or lack of results. People have successfully been awarded thousands of pounds in compensation for suffering from risk that were not properly explained to them. If this is the case, we can argue that there was a lack of consent to such risks which can allow you to make a claim.
Invasive treatments and procedures always carry inherent risks with them so you need to be given the opportunity to make an informed decision based on the benefits and risk of the surgery being properly highlighted to you. If you feel that this was the case then you may have a claim to make.
Who should I turn to?
