Hernia mesh compensation advice
We can help you with hernia mesh compensation advice. We can also offer No Win, No Fee representation for people suffering complications.
Some 170,000 who have received hernia mesh implants may well be suffering complications. In the same way we’ve been helping people for the vaginal mesh complications, we’re also able to represent hernia mesh claimants too.
The severity of the problems that victims can be left with can be serious and permanent. It’s important that anyone who has suffered complications comes forward for advice.
Breast implants cancer reporting intensifies
There has been an intensification in the need for breast implants cancer reporting. This stems from a greater focus on identifying links between implants and certain types of cancer.
We know all too well about the problems that breast implants can caused. We’re still battling for justice for women affected by the PIP Breast Implant scandal. We’ve already recovered over £1.3m in damages, and we continue to fight for UK victims here and in France.
Regulators continue to investigate links between breast implants and rare forms of cancer. Both clinicians and patients are being asked to be aware of the need to take precautions and report adverse incidents.

British Airways data breach compensation action
We’ve launched a British Airways data breach compensation action after the revelation that the data for 380,000 payment cards has been compromised.
British Airways should have notified all victims to confirm that they’ve been affected by the breach by now. The breach period took place between 10.58pm on 21 August 2018 and 9:45pm on 5 September 2018. If you made a payment during this period, you may be affected.
The British Airways data breach compensation action is one of dozens of group action cases our lawyers are, and have been, engaged in. For help and advice now, please contact the team.
Advice for starting your vaginal mesh lawsuit
A large number of vaginal mesh lawsuits are already being pursued, and if you need advice for starting yours, you can contact the team for advice today.
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.
Latanoprost Timolol eye drops recall
A Latanoprost Timolol eye drops recall has been announced by the Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Authority (MHRA).
The company behind the eye drops, FDC Pharma, are recalling a batch due to what has been classed as an ‘out of specification result for an unknown impurity’ that was identified during testing. Medical professionals are to stop providing the eye drops to patients, and suppliers and distributors are to cease moving the eye drops as well.
The NHS has been pushing the news throughout the Service to ensure batches affected by the Latanoprost Timolol eye drops recall are not used.
Compensation for pelvic mesh problems
You can claim for personal injury compensation for pelvic mesh problems, and it’s important to claim given the severity of the issues that can arise.
We’ve spent a number of years talking about pelvic mesh problems, and we’re now at a point where the number of people suffering complications appears to be increasing, and people are far more aware of the dangers now. Only recently did the NHS finally put a widespread pause on the procedure – news we welcome – after another review into the safety and the efficacy of the devices.
With some victims left unable to walk or work for the rest of their lives, claiming compensation for personal injury and losses is incredibly important.
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 suits continue against Boston Scientific
Pelvic mesh suits are to continue against pharmaceutical giant Boston Scientific after a Judge denied an attempt to dismiss some 800 claims.
The major pharmaceutical companies like Boston Scientific and Johnson and Johnson seem to be trying their hardest to dismiss the thousands of claims that are currently being made against them in them around the world. The UK is somewhat behind in terms of taking full legal action for victims pursuing pelvic mesh suits, and it’s a legal action we’re involved in.
This latest failed effort to dismiss claims is another small victory in what continues to be a long, hard fight for justice.
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.
Stagecoach self-drive buses to be tested
Stagecoach self-drive buses are to be tested in depots, marking a potential shift toward self-driving technology on UK roads.
Currently, self-drive vehicles are not yet fully legal for road-use, but the government plans to have them on pubic roads as soon as possible. We have the likes of Tesla testing their self-drive technology right now, despite there being a number of accidents (and fatalities) so far that are linked to self-drive technology.
We remain incredibly concerned about these hastening developments.
Slime borax ingredient ‘toxic’ to children
The levels of a slime borax ingredient contained in the popular children’s toy has been found to be at potentially ‘toxic’ levels in eight of the leading slime products.
According to research conducted by consumer action group Which?, eight of the 11 leading slime products tested contained amounts of boron – a chemical in borax – deemed to be unsafe, leaving children at risk of irritation, diarrhoea, vomiting and cramps.
According to the research, the levels of the dangerous chemical may not be clearly listed on the ingredients and may be described as ‘contact lens solution’ which contains borax.
