Pursuing medical product liability claims

Pursuing medical product liability claims is about recovering compensation for any pain, suffering and loss of amenity caused as a result of some form of implant or device. It is also about making sure that you can recover reasonable losses and expenses, which are often known as Special Damages, and could include revision surgeries or losses, such as lost earnings.

A case of this nature is about trying to put you back in the position you were in as if the incident had never happened in the first place. Whilst we cannot turn back the clock and undo any damage that has been done, and you may be left with permanent problems, we can use these Civil Procedure Rules for pursuing a legal claim to recover some form of compensation for you. This can go a long way to making sure that you can achieve some form of justice for what has happened to you.

In many cases, medical product liability claims can be grouped together in either formal Group Litigation Orders (GLO) actions or can be classed as multi-party actions. Group Litigation Order matters are typically where many people will issue their claims together and then these similar “like” issues can be pursued as one. For example, liability could be established using a generic framework that could apply to most or all cases. A multi-party matter can often be a case where claims are pursued individually, but where there are many people with different circumstances involved in similar issues. An example as far as our definition goes could be the vaginal and hernia mesh matters where they are multi-party because they are individual claims as opposed to being grouped together, but there are many parties pursuing similar cases.

Group and multi-party compensation actions

Medical product liability claims are matters that we have dealt with for quite some time, with thousands of people having come to us over many years for matters of this nature. Since 2012 we have been representing a large number of those affected by the PIP Breast Implant scandal where we have recovered over £1.3m in damages to date. We represent a number of people who have been affected by hernia mesh and vaginal mesh issues, as well as previously acting for those involved in the metal-on-metal hip implant scandals.

These are just some of the medical product matters that we have represented and helped people with.
