You could be entitled to recover any costs of treatment when you pursue a claim for vaginal mesh which could form part of the damages when you make a claim.
Some costs could be recovered before a claim is settled, whereas others may be recoverable for anything that has been paid out.
Claiming compensation for costs of treatment
You could be entitled to claim compensation for any cost of treatment in respect of a vaginal mesh claim for legal damages. This could be about recovering costs for any private treatment that you have had which may be for physiotherapy or occupational therapy to assist with managing your ongoing problems. You may also be able to recover the costs of any private surgery if this will help you to recover quickly and recover in the best way possible.
The reason that you might be entitled to recover any costs of treatment is because the defendant in the matter has an important duty to help you to recover as much as possible and help you to mitigate your losses. As such, if paying for that treatment will speed up your recovery or make your recovery better, they may have a duty to pay for it, if it is reasonable.
If we can establish that negligence has taken place and that you have a valid claim to pursue, that is when we may be able to approach the defendant and pursue a case for such costs. We may be able to recover any costs of treatment before a claim has actually settled so that you can make use of the money when you need it the most.
The purpose of a pelvic mesh compensation case
As we often say, we cannot turn back the clock and undo any damage that has been done to you. However, what we can do is recover compensation for any pain, suffering and loss of amenity that has been caused, and for any losses and expenses incurred. This can help us to put you back in the position you were in prior to the problems, as much as we possibly can, which is the purpose of pursuing a pelvic mesh compensation case.
The damages for the pain and suffering part is mainly to account for any struggles you will endure, and what you have had to go through so far. The losses and expenses part could be really important as this could cover things such as lost earnings for prolonged periods of time off work if you are going to be unable to work in the same capacity as you did prior to what has happened.
