The regulator has covered the issue of a precautionary recall for Sabril 500 mg film-coated tablets and Sabril 500 mg granules for oral solution (EL 23/A25).

Claim Compensation Before the Emissions Deadlines: Group Actions

It is essential to claim compensation through group actions before the emissions deadlines fall and you miss your chance to recover damages.

In recent years, the issue of emissions has gained significant attention due to its adverse effects on both the environment and public health. As a response, various regulations have been put in place to curb emissions and hold responsible parties accountable.

Victims of the “Dieselgate” scandals can seek compensation for damages caused by emissions by participating in group actions. You can start the process by completing the forms on the Car Emissions Lawyers website here now before time runs out.

Johnson & Johnson talc

Johnson & Johnson talc compensation claims in the UK

If you or someone you know has been potentially affected by Johnson and Johnson talc issues then we may be able to pursue a claim for compensation for you now on a No Win, No Fee basis.

Talc products have, for quite some time, been linked to potential asbestos exposure as a result of the close proximity where the two compounds are found. The allegations are that pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson may have allegedly known about cross-contamination, but may have covered up the matter or failed to deal with it. Whilst they firmly dispute the allegations that have been made, some compensation actions have settled in the US on the basis that people may have been exposed to asbestos when using talc products.

Anniversary of the GDPR – fourth year

This year’s anniversary of the GDPR marks the fourth year since the inception of this important piece of legislation that came into being in May 2018.

In that time, have we seen enough in the way of change? Are we now better protected, and are we now afforded greater rights? In theory, we should be – yet there have still been a number of high-profile incidents that we represent people for.

Medical product claims for compensation

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.

Shrewsbury and Telford NHS Trust

Shrewsbury and Telford NHS Trust maternity scandal

Shrewsbury and Telford NHS Trust has been in the media recently over the maternity scandals and the condition of care and treatment provided for over a period of two decades.

The findings of the independent review are tragic and terrible, and we are left questioning how the scandal had been allowed to go on for so long. There can only ever be the hope that the conclusion of the investigations brings some form of closure to those affected, but nothing can change what has already been done. Some victims have been left with lifelong and permanent, serious injuries, and others did not survive as a result of negligence and inadequate care.

Sodium Valproate claims for compensation can be pursued for damages for any injury and suffering that has arisen from the use of the drug.

The risks of using the drug during pregnancy can be significant and can lead to birth defects and serious developmental problems in infants.

Compensation for revision surgery in Group Actions

Claimants engaged in group and multi-party legal actions can be entitled to recover compensation for revision surgery where this is an applicable factor.

As Group Action Specialists (hence our name – The Group Action Lawyers) we have recovered substantial damages to cover this element of a legal case where it has applied in the many group actions that we have launched. Victims of negligence can be entitled to recover such damages as a claim is designed to help them as much as is reasonably possible, so corrective treatment is sometimes a must.

For anyone who needs this factored into a legal case, we may be able to help you now on a No Win, No Fee basis.

hernia mesh compensation claims

Preventing medical implant problems is key for the future

It may sound obvious when we talk about the importance of preventing medical implant problems before mass scandals occur, but it is a key point to raise given our line of work.

As specialist Group Action Lawyers, we have represented thousands of people engaged in group and multi-party actions. Some of those have been for medical implant scandals, including the PIP Breast Implant Scandal, the Vaginal and Hernia Mesh issues, and the Metal-On-Metal Hip Implant cases. What this means is that we have seen first-hand just how badly patients can suffer when things go wrong, and we do not want to see a repeat of such scandals and the awful consequences that ensue. Whilst it can be difficult to prevent problems like the PIP Breast Implant cases where deceit was involved, preventing medical implant scandals through better testing and warnings is a development to push forward with.

It is easy to look back in hindsight and see what could have been done differently. But it is important to look to the future to make sure that there are no repeats of mistakes that could have been prevented.
