Botched surgery abroad - Why is it a growing phenomenon
Medical Negligence
Posted on: May 24th, 2023
There are huge amounts of people opting to have cosmetic surgery - including dental procedures - abroad, attracted by the cheaper prices
But is it it worth it? Sadly, we are seeing a fair amount of botched procedures from these 'cosmetic holidays'.
The sad fact is, if you have undergone a botched surgery abroad, we can not act for you because of the jurisdictional challenges involved in pursuing a legal case outside of the UK.
The laws and regulations that govern medical malpractice claims vary widely from country to country, and it may be difficult to establish liability and prove negligence in a foreign court.
In addition, there may be language barriers, cultural differences, and other practical challenges that make it difficult to navigate the legal system in a foreign country.
