Hernia mesh claim for complications

You can make a hernia mesh claim if you’ve suffered complications arising from your procedure.

Problems that people can suffer from can include:

• Pain, which can become chronic pain;
• Mobility problems that can include difficulties standing and walking;
• Adhesions (scar tissue that can cause an inflammatory response);
• Bowel obstruction;
• Organ perforation;
• Hernia recurrence.

It’s important to know that hernia mesh procedures are not banned in the UK. They have been subject to massive recalls in the US, and we think more needs to be done here.

The NHS has faced criticism over inconsistent follow-up and guidance. With a potential risk rate of complications being as high as 30%, patients need to be fully aware of things like:

• What problems can occur and how to avoid them;
• Whether there are safer and more suitable alternatives (you don’t have to have mesh to repair a hernia);
• When to seek further help after a hernia mesh procedure.

No Win, No Fee for a hernia mesh claim

You can make a hernia mesh claim on a No Win, No Fee basis with our specialist representation.

If you’re eligible to claim and we think we can win your case, we can offer to write off our legal fees in the event the case fails to succeed.

It’s important to know that some consumer protection legislation has strict time limitations to claim. This can mean that victims miss the deadlines even when they had no knowledge that there was a problem or a case to make.

We recommend that you contact our team as soon as you can to avoid missing out on the chance to claim. You may be eligible to claim for the pain, suffering and loss of amenity, as well as for any financial losses and expenses.
