What is a surgical mesh claim and how does it work?

If you have questions about making a surgical mesh claim for compensation if you’ve suffered problems and complications, we can help you.

For a number of years, we’ve been fighting for the rights of women who have suffered serious complications arising from the use of vaginal mesh implants. Despite the thousands of women worldwide who have suffered, they’re still in use here in England and Wales.  Some women’s lives have been turned upside down as the complications that can arise cannot always be corrected.

Justice is therefore incredibly important. What has happened has happened, but we can make sure that you’re properly and thoroughly compensated for what you’ve had to go through.

What is surgical mesh claim?

A surgical mesh claim is a claim for personal injury compensation for women who have suffered problems and complications having been fitted with a vaginal mesh implant.

You can recover compensation for things like:

• Any pain and suffering caused by the implant failing, or through complications, and from the need for further surgery. If you’re going to be left with problems for life, this is considered;
• Any loss of amenity, and any affect on your relationships, hobbies, and your general day-to-day life;
• Losses and expenses, which can typically include lost earnings from time off work, and private medical (surgery, treatment) costs.

If we can establish that there has been negligence in your case, we can look to settle a claim based on how badly you’ve suffered.

Generally speaking, the more suffer and / or the more you lose, the more you can claim for.

How does a legal case work?

If we consider that you have a good chance of being able to succeed with a surgical mesh claim, we can take a case forward on a No Win, No Fee basis.

You can read more about how the No Win, No Fee works here.

As part of a case, we’ll pursue the party responsible for an admission of liability. Once we have that, we can use expert medical reports from privately instructed consultants as evidence in the case.

This helps us to be able to negotiate the best settlement for you.

If the opponent refuses to accept liability, we may have a legal battle on our hands. But that’s what were here for; to fight your corner.
