Compensation for failure to properly investigate mesh problems

You could be entitled to claim personal injury compensation for any failure to properly investigate vaginal mesh problems or alternatives relating to this controversial treatment.

Our team can provide free, no-obligation legal advice about vaginal mesh compensation claims here now.

What can be a failure to properly investigate your situation?

A failure to properly investigate alternatives to vaginal mesh is about the question over whether other options were looked at before proceeding with pelvic mesh treatment. Given that this procedure can come with significant risks that can lead to lifelong problems, it is important to look at what else could be done instead of going down this route. At the same time, you should be fully advised of all the risks and eventualities, so you are afforded the chance to be able to provide informed consent. If this has not happened then you could be eligible to claim on that basis.

When it comes to any failure to properly investigate any problems you have asked for help with, this comes from stories about some women being dismissed and not properly dealt with when they were presenting symptoms of vaginal mesh going wrong. Given how severe the complications can be in respect of using mesh, it is vital that patients are treated seriously when they are asking for help. Any failure in this regard could constitute negligence that could allow a person to claim.

What could you claim compensation for?

If you have suffered due to the failure to properly investigate vaginal mesh alternatives, or problems you have had, you may be eligible to receive damages for:

Pain, suffering and loss of amenity – known as General Damages; and
Losses and expenses – known as Special Damages.

The General Damages is usually based on the extent and severity of any suffering endured. Generally speaking, the more you suffer, the more a claim can be valued at. We can use evidence from an independent expert to be able to determine this for you. The Special Damages aspect can be for things such as lost earnings from time off work, or perhaps the costs of medication and treatment. Treatment or even surgery could be obtained on a private basis if this will help you, and we can then look to include the costs of this as part of a claim for compensation.
