Patients left needing several mesh surgeries – advice

Some patients have been left needing several mesh surgeries as a result of their treatments going wrong. You could be entitled to pursue compensation and we may be able to help you now on a No Win, No Fee basis.

Given that vaginal mesh is intended to be permanent, it can be difficult – or, in some cases – impossible to remove, which is why lengthy courses of treatment are sometimes required. We may be able to factor this in as part of a claim for compensation. You can speak to us about whether we can help you and access free, no-obligation legal advice here now.

Claiming compensation for needing several mesh surgeries

Unfortunately, in some cases, patients who have suffered complications and problems arising from pelvic mesh require several mesh surgeries to try to correct problems that have been caused. One of the main reasons why some people end up needing several mesh surgeries is because vaginal mesh is intended to be permanent, and it is not designed in a way that it can be easily removed. This is one of the core reasons why, when things have gone wrong, women have so many problems because, in some cases, it can be completely impossible to remove.

In some cases, pelvic mesh may need to be removed over several surgeries, and this is where the pain and problems that victims suffer from can be prolonged. If you have been left requiring several mesh surgeries as a result of your treatment going wrong, you could be entitled to claim compensation. If we believe that you have been the victim of negligence, perhaps due to failures during the surgery or treatment process, or in respect of any advice you have received, we may be able to help you. If we can help you then we can offer eligible clients No Win, No Fee legal representation.

Private treatment as part of a legal case

In some cases, you may be far better off undergoing treatment and surgery on a private paying basis. This may allow you to access quicker treatment and it may also allow you to access better medical care, both of which you really should have if you have been injured through no fault of your own.

As part of a legal case, it is possible to include private treatment as part of a claim for compensation. It is not an absolute given, and we will need to deal with things on a case-by-case basis. Further, a lot of whether we can access it during the course of the claim is about the defendant’s stance on liability. If, for example, the defendant has accepted liability and has agreed that they will pay you compensation for what has happened to you, we may be able to approach them and ask them to pay for private treatment before the claim has settled. They could either pay this directly or they could pay it as part of an interim payment, which is an award of damages made before a case is settled. This is helpful because it can allow you to access the treatment when you need it as opposed to having to wait until the claim is fully finalised and you receive your settlement.

In a legal case, a defendant does have a duty to help a claimant to recover as quickly as possible, and in the best way possible. This is why, in some cases, defendants are quite happy to pay for private treatment because it can actually help you in the long-term. Pursuing a claim for compensation with us means that we can explore this as a possible avenue for you if you are eligible for it.
