The seriousness of damage to nerves
The seriousness of damage to nerves really cannot be understated, as you could be left with permanent and lifelong complications that could be severe. In respect of pelvic mesh complications, this could be caused by the mesh device failing, moving or not functioning in the way that it should, which could cause internal injuries. Cutting injuries that can occur from mesh problems could cause nerve damage, as could any internal organ damage that could be associated with vaginal mesh complications.
Ultimately, nerves do not like to be disturbed, so to speak. As such, any damage to nerves could be completely irreparable. Further, given that vaginal mesh procedures are intended to be permanent, it can even be impossible to remove or correct the problem in some cases.
This means that some women could be left with problems and with absolutely no way of reversing the damage at all. Whilst we cannot turn back the clock, a claim for personal injury compensation is a way that we can get some form of justice for what has happened.
Can you claim personal injury compensation?
If you have suffered any complications or injuries as a result of pelvic mesh, such as damage to nerves, or other issues or problems, you could be eligible to pursue a personal injury compensation claim.
In a case, we need to prove that you have been the victim of negligence, and there are a few ways that we could do this. One of the more common negligence claims can come down to a lack of advice about the severity of any risks that you might have faced, and a lack of alternative options being offered. If those are applicable in your circumstances, and that may have altered your decision to go ahead with the procedure, that is when you could be eligible to pursue a case.
Another avenue of negligence could be down to the skill of the surgeon or the quality of the aftercare not being adequate enough. Vaginal mesh implantation is an incredibly invasive procedure that can easily go wrong if the skill of the surgeon or the quality of the aftercare are not as good as they should be. Another way in which you could be eligible to pursue a case is if the medical device itself has failed due to a defect.
