TVT mesh claims: join the action

You can join the legal action we’ve launched for women who are making TVT mesh claims having suffered problems and complications following their surgery.

Although different women can suffer in different ways, and each person has their own claim for compensation, we’re acting for a group that may either form into one action or remain as a multi-party action. These kinds of medical group actions are what we specialise in. We’ve recovered over £1.3m in compensation for a similar medical group action, and we’ve been appointed to the Steering Committee leading what’s set to be one of the biggest consumer actions in the UK.

When it comes to group actions, our expertise speaks for itself. Women who have yet to start TVT mesh claims may be eligible for our help today.

Start your Oculentis claim today

If you’ve yet to start your Oculentis claim, here’s some information about getting started today. It’s important to claim as soon as you can.

If you’re one of the hundreds of people who have suffered with opacification problems having been fitted with intraocular lenses manufactured by Oculentis, you may have a claim for compensation. The blind spots and cloudiness in the vision can be caused by calcification from phosphate that was previously used in the manufacturing process.

The way to correct the problem is to have further surgery for the lenses to be replaced. You may be able to claim personal injury compensation for having to undergo the further surgical procedure.

Risperdal compensation deal agreed ahead of trial

A Risperdal compensation deal has been agreed ahead of a trial. This is said to be one of many potentially multi-million-pound settlements over the drug.

Some users who have been taking Risperdal medication have suffered severe side-effects. The use of the drug has also been involved in off-label marketing; i.e. using the drug for alternative reasons than what regulators have approved the drug for.

Off-label marketing can be a real problem for consumers. When pharmaceutical giants see slow sales in particular products, they can be tempted to repackage them and sell them for different uses. Sometimes this isn’t a bad thing, but when the drug isn’t approved for certain uses, and where certain side-effects are prominent in off-label uses, people can suffer.
