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.
Volkswagen emissions action settlement
The Volkswagen emissions action settlement for claimants engaged in the Group Litigation Order (GLO) in England and Wales is another positive step forward in the global fight for emissions justice.
Tens of thousands of drivers are now in line for pay-outs, despite VW disputing that they had done anything wrong for several years. Whilst settlements can still be made without any admission of liability, it is clear that the compromise recognises the justification for compensation arising from the “Dieselgate” scandal.
The Group Action Lawyers has been representing victims of the emissions scandals since 2015. Eligible clients are able to benefit from our legal services on a No Win, No Fee basis.
Sodium Valproate claims for compensation
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. Unfortunately, consent and the explanation of risks to mothers has been an issue, leaving many not knowing that their unborn child could be at risk when taking the drug.
We are offering free, no-obligation claims assessments and you can speak to the team here now.
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.
Contaminated Products and Group Action Compensation
A group action claim for compensation could ensue for issues in respect of contaminated products, and anyone who has come to harm could be eligible to pursue a legal case.
Group Actions and Multi-Party Litigation matters are what we specialise in. Having recovered millions of pounds in damages for clients in civil cases for many years, and with thousands of happy clients having settled their cases, our experience speaks for itself.
We are always happy to assess potential cases for free, and we can also offer No Win, No Fee legal representation for eligible claimants.
Mislabelled products: legal rights for compensation
Anyone who has been harmed as a result of mislabelled products could be entitled to bring a claim for compensation, and we can offer No Win, No Fee legal representation for eligible clients.
As Group Action Lawyers, this is the kind of event that we can represent people for. Not all incidents of the incorrect information on products can lead to harm but, when it does, this is where we may be able to help anyone affected.
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.
Mass medical negligence claims for compensation

The specialist team is here to listen to you if you need free, no-obligation advice about existing claims or new class actions.
You could be owed tens of thousands of pounds in damages, so make sure you step forward to claim what you could be owed.
Sterility problems and compensation actions
Anyone who has been adversely affected by sterility problems could be entitled to pursue a claim for personal injury compensation on a No Win, No Fee basis.
As a firm of specialist Group Action Lawyers, we have represented many victims for issues concerning the sterility of equipment and devices, and there have been plenty of regulatory recalls over the years where this has been the issue.
A single event or a prolonged problem where an issue over sterility occurs could lead to thousands of people being put at risk. Anyone who has ever suffered harm in this way could be entitled to pursue a claim for damages.
The wider importance of our emissions actions
Our emissions actions now number at over 30 in terms of the number of carmakers that we are taking legal cases forward for, representing thousands of people on a No Win, No Fee basis.
Whilst action for justice for the consumers is important and is an integral part of what we are doing, it is also incredibly important to recognise the wider importance of the action that we are taking. It is about punishments and deterrents and, given the impact that cheating emissions can have on human health and on our environment, our work is vital.
