We offer expert help & advice for those who need to make a mesh implant compensation claim!
If you’re thinking about starting a claim with us and you want to know how we work out vaginal mesh compensation amounts, here’s a little insight for you.
There can be a great deal of work involved in the process of calculating the final pay-out for a pelvic mesh compensation case. Not only is there a lot to consider, but valuations and settlements can be substantial given how bad problems and complications can be. With some women suffering irreversible damage, we leave no stone unturned when it comes to making sure we get the maximum possible amount for our clients.
Here’s how we value cases.
It has been reported that pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson has been ordered to pay $2.6m in pelvic mesh settlements for three victims by a US court.
News of this significant development follows last year’s successful court action in Australia that has paved the way for women to receive the justice they have fought hard for.
In the UK, we are representing several women for individual vaginal mesh compensation claims. Legal cases can be brought against hospitals, surgeons and manufacturers, depending on the circumstances of the claim. If you have yet to speak to us for advice, we recommend that you do so as soon as you can to avoid missing any key deadlines to claim.
If you have suffered as a result of inadequate pelvic mesh aftercare, you could be entitled to make a claim for medical negligence compensation with us.
We may also be able to represent you for the case on a No Win, No Fee basis.
Aftercare is incredibly important when a pelvic mesh or sling has been fitted. You don’t want anything to go wrong with the device because it could lead to severe problems and complications, and they could be permanent. If this does happen, a patient could be entitled to bring a claim for vaginal mesh injury compensation.
Pelvic mesh erosion is one of the many problems and complications that some women can suffer from when their vaginal mesh or sling goes wrong.
Both the mesh and the surrounding tissue can be subject to erosion, and in either case, the harm to the patient can be severe. Because the vaginal mesh is designed to be permanent, any kind of movement or failure of the device can be difficult to resolve. If mesh needs removing, there can be cases where it’s simply impossible to remove – or fully remove – the device.
This is why claims for personal injury compensation when things go wrong with pelvic mesh are so important. Women’s lives can literally be turned upside down forever, and we must do all we can to help.
You can be entitled to make a claim for compensation for pelvic mesh removal, and we may be able to represent you for a case on a No Win, No Fee basis.
Whether the operation is fully or partially successful, or not successful at all, you may have a valid legal case. We represent a number of women making claims for compensation arising from pelvic mesh problems, and the pain and trauma of removal and revision procedures can be an integral part of a claim.
Some women may need to undergo multiple operations, and it may be difficult to get the best help with the NHS. There are private options potentially available in some cases which is a part of the service that we can offer.
You can make a pelvic mesh claim against a surgeon if the negligence for any part of your problems and suffering arises from advice or operations that you have undergone.
In vaginal mesh compensation claims there can be several potential avenues for pursuing a case. It may be that there were better alternatives, or it could be that the device was defective or unsuitable for you. If it comes down to an advice or surgical aspect, that’s when you may have a legal case that needs to be directed against a surgeon.
With the problems and complications that patients can suffer from often being so severe, here’s some vital advice about your options and what you may be able to do.
The issue with long-term pelvic mesh complications is that they can be permanent and severe, and there’s still too little evidence being properly assessed in many people’s view.
When the revised NICE guidelines were published last year that allowed the continuation of this controversial procedure, there was a suggestion that there was an absence of long-term knowledge. However, this has been strongly challenged on the basis that there are thousands of women worldwide who have been suffering serious mesh implant complications for years, yet their voices appear to not be heard.
We act for women who are suffering from irreversible damage from a vaginal mesh procedure. Although we can make sure that women are entitled to justice with a claim for personal injury compensation, we believe far more needs to be done to address the underlying problems.
If you need to make a no win, no fee vaginal mesh compensation claim, we may be able to help. We’re already representing several women on the same basis, and we may be able to help you too.
If there’s one thing that’s certain when it comes to claims for personal injury compensation for pelvic mesh problems and complications, it’s the difficulty in succeeding with a case. We, of course, don’t want to put you off; but as expert lawyers, we believe in being honest with our clients. We won’t lie to you; these cases can be hard to win.
For you, as the victim, the risk of losing and paying thousands of pounds in legal fees isn’t something you need to be concerned about with us. We offer No Win, No Fee representation for vaginal mesh cases so that our clients are protected.
Some patients can suffer internal injuries from pelvic mesh surgery. Such injuries can be caused by the device itself failing, or during surgery for implantation or removal.
In some cases, women who suffer these kinds of vaginal mesh complications can be entitled to justice. You could be entitled to make a claim for personal injury compensation for any pain, suffering and loss of amenity caused. You may also be able to recover damages for any losses and expenses as well.
If this applies to you, here’s some advice about your options for justice and how we may be able to represent you for a legal case on a No Win, No Fee basis.
When things have gone wrong, pelvic mesh implant removal may be the only option that’s left for patients to prevent any further suffering or reduce problems occurring.
But it isn’t always easy to get the help that you need. With NHS waiting times and resources for vaginal mesh complications sometimes limited, where do you turn when you need help sooner rather than later?
There are options for private surgery and treatment. It isn’t always guaranteed to work, and in some cases there’s nothing that can be done; but if something can be done, this is something you can explore. When it comes to the costs, a claim for compensation can be the way forward.
