We offer expert help & advice for those who need to make a mesh implant compensation claim!
The symptoms of pelvic mesh problems can be wide-ranging and can leave patients with complications for a long time, and in some cases, indefinitely.
In many cases, it’s only possible to remove part of the ineffective mesh device, and in other cases, it cannot be removed at all. However, even when it can be removed, women can be left with severe complications from nerve damage and scarring caused by the mesh.
It’s therefore important to recognise the symptoms associated with vaginal mesh problems, and it’s also important to know your legal rights.
Pelvic mesh removal problems can be serious, and with the issue of complete removal impossible in some cases, victims need to know their rights for justice.
We pursue claims for personal injury compensation for women who have suffered as a result of their transvaginal mesh surgery causing problems. We’re representing a number of women for legal cases, and the issue of removal problems can be factored into a claim.
There are a few things that we can do as part of the case to assist, and you can be eligible to claim damages where removal has been a problem as well.
Vaginal mesh aftercare, especially when things go wrong, has faced significant criticism around the world, including here in the UK.
Last year, a widespread pause for the use of transvaginal mesh and tape for things like stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and pelvic organ prolapse (POP) was put in place. In April this year, revised guidelines were issued by NICE (The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence), which have also faced stern criticism.
When it comes what you can do about the injustices of poor aftercare, you should know that you have rights. And we’re here to help you.
Transvaginal mesh lawsuit updates are an important part of the fight for justice and compensation for women around the world.
And that’s why we always endeavour to provide comprehensive and frequent updates to our clients who have put their faith and trust in us to represent them for their case.
In the UK, there has been a number of lawsuits and actions that have been launched. Right now, we’re representing a cohort of Claimants for individual cases, and the wider fight for justice continues. The vaginal mesh saga has been ongoing for decades and the fight is far from over for many of the women who have suffered terrible complications when their mesh implant has gone wrong.
We’re more than happy to offer you free, no-obligation advice when you speak to our TVT mesh lawyers and the legal team here; seven days a week.
We know that making a TVT mesh compensation claim can be a daunting thing to consider. Engaging a solicitor for anything can be a worrying thought, but we genuinely do aim to make things as simple and as hassle-free for you as possible.
There are so many ways we can do this; from our free and no-obligation advice, to the No Win, No Fee peace of mind that we offer.
Many people feel that TVT surgery support and aftercare remains inadequate, even after the conclusions of the recent review and the additional guidelines from NICE (The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence).
The revised guidance has already face significant criticism on the basis that it doesn’t go far enough, and fails to address the long-term impact vaginal mesh devices can have.
Despite this being a worldwide issue that has been going on for over a decade, women undergoing TVT surgery in the last few years are still not receiving adequate support, it’s claimed. Although we can’t turn back the clock, we can make sure that clients who claim compensation with us are supported as best as we can.
As part of a claim for personal injury compensation, you may be able to claim back additional vaginal mesh surgery costs, as well as other losses and expenses.
When you make a claim, it isn’t just compensation you receive for the pain and suffering. The idea is that you should not be out-of-pocket financially, and you should be back in the position you were in prior to the negligence. Treatment, surgery and claiming back costs can be an important part of this, and it can all be factored into your case.
We’ll give you a brief overview as to how it all works in this article, so read on for more advice.
Following last year’s pause on the use of the procedure, the big question on many people’s lips is this: will the UK ban vaginal mesh surgery as other countries have?
One of the primary criticisms over the outcome of the recent changes into the use of vaginal mesh that followed last year’s ban was that it suggested there’s a lack of long-term knowledge. From the tens of thousands of women worldwide who have suffered complications, some of them permanent, there’s clearly a great deal of long-term knowledge out there.
But despite this, the UK has still yet to ban the use of vaginal mesh surgery procedures, and many are left wondering whether a permanent ban will ever take place.
As a law firm representing women for vaginal mesh compensation claims, we know how bad things can get. And that’s why we know how important private mesh removal surgery can be.
With the NHS still offering the procedure, the risks to women continue. In some cases, the mesh implant complications that can arise can be so bad that further surgery is needed together with a lengthy treatment plan. This can be achieved via the NHS, but it isn’t always easy to obtain. In some cases, people have had to wait for months for help, or even longer than a year. That can be the case for both surgery and for treatment.
So, what do you do when your life is on hold and you need to wait for a long time for treatment? Private mesh removal surgery and treatment is one option, and this can be factored into a claim for compensation.
We know this can be a difficult subject to discuss, but if TVT mesh has ruined your sex life, what can you do?
There are a number of incredibly serious complications that can arise from TVT mesh surgery. One of those is the serious impact it can have on your sex life. The constant pain and the damage to the surrounding tissues can make intercourse simply too painful (known as dyspareunia). The mental stress alone can also have an impact on physical relationships as well.
Unfortunately, as we often say, we can’t turn back the clock. What we can do is help you with a legal case for compensation if you’ve suffered as a result of a TVT mesh implant that has gone wrong. The levels of damages that can be awarded can be high given the severity of the complications that can arise.
