Concerns raised over new vaginal mesh guidelines
Following last year’s widespread pause, the new vaginal mesh guidelines have been published. Understandably, concerns have been raised that they may not good enough.
We can tell you from experience that the complications and suffering that women can endure when vaginal mesh surgery goes wrong can be horrendous. We’re acting for women on a No Win, No Fee basis who are making claims for personal injury compensation because of problems they’ve experienced. With some women left unable to work or walk ever again, the continued use of these devices must be heavily scrutinised.
Concerns have been raised that the new vaginal mesh guidelines that have been published haven’t considered the experiences of the victims, and don’t go far enough to protect women who may undergo the procedure.
Are you suffering with valsartan side effects?
If you’re suffering with valsartan side effects, you may want to read this article and take heed of some important information about the drug.
Last year, a Class 1 Medicines Recall was initiated by Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). The recall stems from potential contamination that comes from the production process that could be incredibly serious for anyone affected. In fact, in the US, lawsuits have been active for some time now. When members of the Group Action Lawyers attended a conference in the U.S. last year, it was clear to us just how serious this issue could be.
If you’ve been taking the medication here in the UK and you’ve suffered problems or side effects, we may need to speak with you.
Yet to start your transvaginal mesh claim? Read this now!
If you’ve yet to start your transvaginal mesh claim for compensation, we recommend that you read this urgent advice about your options for justice.
We know that people put off starting a legal case for many reasons. One of the main ones is the worry about having a formal legal claim. But if you leave it too late, you risk being unable to claim at all.
There can be a number of timeframes involved in a case like this, and we’ve had to turn people away in the past who have missed deadlines to claim. We don’t want you to miss out on your chance for justice. With that in mind, here’s a little useful guidance about making a transvaginal mesh claim for compensation.
The Gatwick drone incident raises legal questions
The Gatwick drone incident that has brought one of the UK’s biggest airports to a complete standstill this week raises big legal questions.
We’ve written before about the use of smart technology and how it can be dangerous. Although the Gatwick drones appear to be high-tech and are being used as part of what appears to be a deliberate ploy, everyday drones can be dangerous. It’s those drones that can be easily bought online or on the high street that raise the legal questions as well.
If something happens, where’s the liability? Where’s the insurance? What do we need to do to ensure people are protected?
Compensation for vaginal mesh problems
We’re representing victims claiming compensation for vaginal mesh problems. With some women suffering with lifelong problems, legal action is important.
We’ve been helping with legal advice for vaginal mesh problems for a number of years now. Some of the cases that arise from dangerous mesh implants are high-value cases because of the severity of the problems women are suffering.
It’s important to seek advice and representation from specialist lawyers. Our primary focus as a firm is group action cases, which is why our expertise is important for people to recognise.
40,000 patients affected by cervical screening error
Some 40,000 patients are affected by the recent cervical screening error that has led to thousands of letters not being sent out.
Of the 40,000 affected, some 4,000 were in relation to test results that never went out. Up to 200 of those reportedly showed abnormal results where women will have likely needed swift intervention if cancer has been identified.
The number of patients affected is staggering, and this isn’t the first time a simple error has led to a significant blunder of this nature. We’re representing victims of the NHS breast screening scandal where letters for screening didn’t go out due to an IT error.
The Roundup weed killer cancer lawsuit
The Roundup weed killer cancer lawsuit alleges that the product can be carcinogenic. The ingredient at the heart of the case is glyphosate.
Although makers of Roundup, Monsanto, are fiercely defending the hundreds of claims brought against them, a claim has settled to the tune of over £200m. Monsanto say there is no viable evidence that glyphosate causes cancer. The common herbicide is found in many household and farming products.
The Roundup weed killer cancer lawsuits allege that glyphosate is carcinogenic. Opinions remain divided.

Thousands of women have reported suffering from mesh implant complications, and the UK has been slow to take real action to safeguard women and ensure compensation is awarded for victims who are now suffering.
Some of the problems people can suffer from can be irreversible, so it’s important for anyone suffering with complications to start their vaginal mesh lawsuit as soon as they can; especially given that time limitations for new cases can be tricky.
The latest talcum powder asbestos trial
One of the latest talcum powder asbestos trial cases is underway as a 94-year-old lady is claiming that her fatal mesothelioma was caused by talc.
This is one of the many cases being pursued in an action where millions of pounds have been awarded to victims who have successfully claimed that their deadly asbestos-related illnesses have been caused by talcum powder containing the deadly substance.
The talcum powder asbestos action is one of the biggest medical product issues of our time, and it could be set to go on for a number of years.
Pelvic mesh implant complications lead to NHS halt
The increasing number of pelvic mesh implant complications has finally forced the NHS to put a widespread halt on the use of the procedure as more and more women come forward with problems over the use of transvaginal mesh and transvaginal tape.
We’ve been advising women suffering mesh implant complications since the start of 2013, and our Group Action Lawyers are involved in legal action over the use of the devices. We wholeheartedly welcome the NHS pause on the use of the implants that’s arisen from a review chaired by Baroness Julia Cumberlege.
This may prove to be another crucial step forward toward justice for the many women who have suffered catastrophic and lifelong injuries caused by mesh implant complications.
