No Win, No Fee hernia mesh compensation claim
We may be able to represent you for a hernia mesh compensation claim on a No Win, No Fee basis. We are already representing several clients, and we may be able to assist you also.
Although there has been long-standing debate over the use of pelvic mesh devices, the hernia mesh issues have only started to emerge in the last few years. As with their pelvic counterparts, a number of patients have suffered problems and complications arising from hernia mesh, and we’ve taken several cases forward.
Subject to the individual circumstances of your case, we may be able to take a case forward for you too.
Compensation and justice for hernia mesh pain
In some cases, when things have gone wrong, hernia mesh pain can be substantial, permanent and completely life-altering.
Mesh implants remain at the centre of controversy, and as a result of growing numbers of patients suffering with pain and problems from hernia mesh surgery, we’re now acting for a number of people who are claiming personal injury compensation.
In some cases, making a claim can be the only way of obtaining some form of justice for what has happened. Importantly, claims can sometimes include private surgery and treatment options as well.
Vaginal mesh scandal: new warning from expert over plastic material
The vaginal mesh scandal has hit the news again this week as we continue to represent victims claiming compensation for pelvic mesh procedures that have gone wrong.
The invasive surgical procedure was under a widespread pause last year following further reviews into the safety and efficacy of the devices. In April this year, revised guidelines were released by NICE (The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence), which many have argued do not go far enough.
We know from years of experience and from the clients that we help that the impact of mesh gone wrong can be absolutely awful.
Hernia mesh side-effects: legal advice
If you’re suffering with prolonged or unusual hernia mesh side-effects, we may be able to assist you with the legal advice and representation you may need.
We’re currently representing a group of people who are claiming for hernia mesh compensation having suffered horrendous side-effects from undergoing the procedure. With the risks of complications being as high as 30%, leaving some patients with extensive complications, compensation can be important.
That’s why we’ve agreed to act for the patients we’re already running cases for. If you’re eligible to start a case with us, we may be able to help you as well.
Private mesh removal surgery and compensation claims
In some cases, women feel that the only way forward is to opt for private mesh removal surgery when suffering problems after a vaginal mesh procedure.
We represent a number of women who are claiming for compensation having suffered pelvic mesh complications. We know how bad it can be, especially when some patients are left unable to walk or work at all. We know of cases where women have struggled to get help and advice form the NHS, and cases where patients are waiting over a year for referrals.
You may feel that you have to take matters into your own hands and go for private treatment and surgery. This can be factored into a claim for compensation.
Should there be better hernia mesh regulations?
As we take on more and more compensation claims for patients who have suffered complications, should there be better hernia mesh regulations?
We’re now acting for a number of people who have come forward and asked for our help, and they all have something in common. They have undergone hernia repair surgery that has involved the use of mesh, and it hasn’t been effective.
Although vaginal mesh has been in the news for years, hernia mesh and the complications that can arise is a more recent thing. Will we see a pause on the use of the procedure so this perhaps controversial form of surgery can be looked at in greater detail? Will there be changes to the way patients are selected for this kind of surgery? Will we see better regulations?
Legal advice for TVT surgery claims
Following the criticism over the new guidelines that came out last month, we’ve received further enquiries from people asking for advice about TVT surgery claims.
With the issues surrounding vaginal mesh in the news again, here’s some advice for you if you’ve yet to speak to anyone about your options for compensation.
One of the first things we often remind people about is to make sure that you seek advice as soon as you can. There can be a number of timeframes to start a case in a legal action of this nature. Leaving it too late can be the difference between receiving tens of thousands of pounds or getting absolutely nothing as a victim of TVT surgery gone wrong.
Advice for hernia mesh surgery problems
If you’re suffering with hernia mesh surgery problems, we may be able to help you. We’re representing a number of people who are claiming personal injury compensation on a No Win, No Fee basis.
We’ve taken claims forward for patients whose hernia mesh surgery has gone wrong. With some studies showing that complications can arise in 30% of cases, there are worries over the continued use of the procedure. Just this month there were calls for greater regulations because of growing concerns over the procedure, and from the reports of our clients and how they have suffered, we’re not surprised.
The nature and the severity of the complications that people can suffer from can be horrendous. Claiming compensation may be the only form of access to justice some patients will ever have.
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 affected by the bard mesh recall?
If you’re affected by the Bard mesh recall, is there any immediate danger, or is there any action that you need to take?
We can’t say that we’re surprised by the news of the recall. We’ve been advising women for years who have suffered problems and complications that have stemmed from being fitted with a vaginal mesh device. We’re also representing women who are making mesh implant compensation claims.
The company has initiated a recall and has immediately ceased production and distribution in Europe as a result of not wanting to invest further resources in evolving regulations. So, what does this mean for the patients?
TVT mesh claims: join the action
You can join the legal action we’ve launched for women who are making TVT mesh claims having suffered problems and complications following their surgery.
Although different women can suffer in different ways, and each person has their own claim for compensation, we’re acting for a group that may either form into one action or remain as a multi-party action. These kinds of medical group actions are what we specialise in. We’ve recovered over £1.3m in compensation for a similar medical group action, and we’ve been appointed to the Steering Committee leading what’s set to be one of the biggest consumer actions in the UK.
When it comes to group actions, our expertise speaks for itself. Women who have yet to start TVT mesh claims may be eligible for our help today.
