    Am I eligible to make a kidney injury compensation claim?

    Determining eligibility for a kidney injury compensation claim involves understanding who is responsible for your injury. A claims advisor will review your case and assess whether:

    • The defendant (the party you hold liable) owed you a duty of care.
    • The defendant breached the duty of care through their carelessness.
    • That negligence directly resulted in your kidney injury.

    Proper legal representation is mandatory to ensure you are compensated fairly. Our team of seasoned personal injury solicitors can aid you through the process, giving your case the best chance to succeed.

    Common causes of kidney injury compensation claims

    These are some situations under which you may seek compensation for renal impairment. Some of the more prevalent causes include:

     Kidney injuries in the workplace

    Certain harmful substances in the workplace can cause chronic kidney disease or damage. Some of these substances may include barium, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, manganese, lead, and uranium. The employers have a responsibility of ensuring a safe working environment for their employees. You may claim compensation for a kidney injury at work if they:

    • Did not provide adequate safety training.
    • Failed to provide appropriate personal protective equipment.
    • Did not allow you to work in a well-ventilated environment.
    • Failed to regularly assess the level of risk.

    If your kidney damage resulted from any period you spent working for a previous employer, you may still be able to claim damages for kidney damage, even if you are no longer part of that company.

    Medical negligence resulting in kidney injuries

    Poor treatment by a medical expert can result in kidney injuries, which may justify claiming damages. Such medical negligence may include:

    • Delayed or misdiagnosis of kidney conditions, such as kidney cancer.
    • Failure to conduct appropriate kidney function tests.
    • Surgical errors that cause kidney damage.
    • Serious errors like operating on the wrong kidney.

    Proving that medical negligence caused your kidney injury can be a difficult task. However, with the help of our medical negligence solicitors, you’ll have expert support in building a strong kidney injury compensation claim.

    Accidental injuries to the kidneys

    Traumatic injuries to the kidneys can occur due to accidents that involve a direct blow to the abdominal region. Examples are as follows:

    • Car accidents in which the abdomen receives a severe impact.
    • Falls from a height, such as ladder accidents.
    • Workplace accidents involving heavy machinery.

    If these accidents were caused by someone else’s carelesness, you have all the right to claim compensation for kidney damage.

    Assaults resulting in kidney injuries

    The most severe kidney injuries will occur in violent assaults, including punching and stabbing attacks to the abdomen. Mostly, these will require surgery, and complications arising from them may remain after the acute injuries have resolved. If you were the victim of an assault that was not your fault, you could claim criminal injury compensation for your kidney damage.

    If you believe that your kidney damage was caused by someone else’s influence, do not worry and contact us immediately.We will be happy to help.

    Penetrating trauma: This is caused by foreign objects, such as knife injuries, penetrating the kidney.

    Crush injury: This occurs when the kidney is compressed between two heavy objects, often in workplace or construction accidents.

    If, for instance, you were injured due to medical malpractice, for example, misdiagnosis of kidney failure or cancer, you can file against the medical expert responsible for your treatment.

    If your injury was due to a car accident, your claim could be made against the negligent driver.

    If the injury occurred at work, the responsibility may fall on your employer, especially if the injury was a result of unsafe working conditions or lack of proper training.

    If you were injured due to others’ fault, you must take steps to pursue the compensation that you deserve. The compensation for your kidney damage covers medical expenses and ongoing care. It also pays for lifestyle adaptation and financial loses due to time off work. Also, it is a way of compensating the pain and anguish you went through due to the injury of your kidneys.

    Not only does pursuing a claim for compensation against a kidney injury help to ensure the negligent party will not cause similar harm again to another individual but also makes the responsible party pay for their negligence. Our personal injury solicitors are ready to assist you whether your kidney injury was due to a medical professional’s error or due to someone else’s negligence.

    Kidney injury can happen to anybody. However, there are people who are at greater risk. 

    Some of them include:

    • Old people especially with underlying conditions like diabetes,heart diseases etc. In these patients, complications of kidney injury or failure will be higher.
    • People undergoing major surgeries who are admitted in the hospital due to severe infections are also more vulnerable since during such periods, blood flow may not be adequately distributed to the kidneys.
    • Young people and children can be affected too with kidney injuries because conditions such as urinary tract infections or nephritis are not discovered and treated early.
    • In addition, the following drugs Mesalazine (used in treatment of ulcerative colitis) might cause kidney problems if not kept under check properly.

    If your kidney injury was due to any of the above mentiones risk factors or the result of someone else’s carelessness, you might be eligible to file a kidney injury compensation claim.

     

    FAQs

    Yes,you definitely can. If you have been unfortunate and lost a kidney due to medical malpractice, you are likely eligible to claim compensation for the loss of a kidney.

    Determining if your kidney loss is a result of medical negligence can be difficult. Most kidney losses from medical negligence start with a misdiagnosis that leads to kidney damage or loss.

    Some common misdiagnoses include:

    • Kidney failure misdiagnosis
    • Kidney stone misdiagnosis
    • Kidney cancer misdiagnosis

    If you are unsure whether your kidney loss was due to medical negligence or misdiagnosis, reach out to us on 0800 970 2727 or request a callback. We can help you determine who was at fault and advise on your eligibility to claim.

    Yes, in most instances, you can claim compensation for a kidney injury under a No Win No Fee agreement. This means you do not pay any legal fees unless your case is successful. It is one of the best ways to gain access to legal representation without worrying about the financial aspect of it.

    However, not all claims are eligible for a No Win No Fee arrangement. The solicitor will examine your case and advise you on the best approach, ensuring that you understand your options and are comfortable with the arrangement.

    In a No Win No Fee claim, compensation is always paid by the insurance company of the responsible party. For example:

    • In a road traffic accident claim, compensation would be paid by the motor insurance company of the negligent driver.
    • In a workplace accident claim, it would be covered by the liability insurance of the employer.
    • In claims against a public body (such as an accident in a public place), compensation would be paid by the relevant public liability insurance.

    You have nothing to worry about because if your claim is successful, you will not pay legal fees directly; instead, these will be paid by the other party’s insurer.With us you have everything to win and  nothing to loose.
