The Group Action Lawyers has a leading team of experts who have been representing victims in medical product claims for compensation for over a decade.
Patients who suffer due to defective and/or dangerous devices and medicines can, in some cases, end up with serious or permanent injuries. When it comes to medical devices, any form of invasive surgery has risks, so any need to repeat surgeries and remove and/or remove and replace devices can lead to huge risks in some cases. It can also lead to unnecessary suffering, and this is a factor that people deserve to be compensated for.
Our history when it comes to medical group actions is extensive, and our team is always happy to provide free, no-obligation advice to anyone in need of us.
We have been running medical product claims for over a decade now, and our legal team has been involved in bringing justice to victims of some of the most infamous actions and scandals that have ever taken place.
Despite stringent testing, and despite the regulations that we have in place, things can go wrong with medical products and medicines. If more could – and, importantly, should – have been done to have prevented the problems, victims could be eligible to claim compensation. A legal case for personal injury damages can allow a victim to receive compensation for any pain, suffering and loss of amenity that has been caused. Victims can also be entitled to claim Special Damages for losses and expenses, and this element can be important in serious injury cases.
Earlier this year, the issue of medical product safety was in the news again (as it often can be) regarding a reported failure by the government to act on recommendations. The fear is that any lack of action from the government could lead to more scandals and future events where people are harmed by medical devices and medicines, and the priority should always be to prevent such occurrences in the first place.
It has been reported that campaigners suffering from issues related to medical products and drugs had shared intimate information about their issues with the government. This is over calls for better preventative measures and systems for compensation to ensure that medical product claims can proceed smoothly and effectively if they do go wrong.
We know all too well how badly some people can be affected by these issues. We have seen women’s lives turned upside down by vaginal mesh issues, and sufferers whose hernia mesh devices have gone wrong being left with terrible problems. To date, we have recovered over £1.3m in damages for victims of the PIP Breast Implant Scandal, which is one of many group and multi-party legal cases we are, and have been, involved with.
It is clear that some victims affected need better help when things go wrong, and we should always be doing all we can to prevent issues from recurring in the future.
