Did you know about vaginal mesh risks you faced prior to proceeding with this controversial treatment? Were you properly informed about what could happen?
If you have not been presented with enough information in respect of any risks, it may be a case that you were not afforded the opportunity to provide proper informed consent to go ahead with the treatment. If that is the case, and you have suffered as a result of pelvic mesh complications, that could allow you to pursue compensation for personal injury.

Key question: did you know about vaginal mesh risks
One of the key questions to ask: did you know about vaginal mesh risks you faced prior to undergoing a procedure involving this controversial medical treatment? Were the risks and the extent of the potential risks you could face clearly explained to you to provide informed consent to proceed with any treatment?
These are important questions because many people were not aware of the extent or severity of any suffering that they could endure if things went wrong, nor were they fully aware of being potentially left with permanent injuries and disabilities.
If you did not know about vaginal mesh risks that you faced, or the extent of them, that is when you could be eligible to pursue a claim for compensation, as we will outline in more detail below. Being able to show that you provided informed consent is really important, so if an opponent in a claim is unable to clearly show this, that is when you could be eligible to succeed with a case.
If you did not know about the extent of the risks…
If you did not know about vaginal mesh risks faced when undergoing the procedure, or if you did not know about the extent of them, that is when you could be eligible to pursue a case. Our argument could be that you were unable to provide informed consent because the risks were not fully explained in detail. If you went on to suffer significantly as a result of those risks that you did not consent or properly consent for, we could hold the organisation responsible negligent for what has happened.
If we can establish negligence, that is when we could succeed with a claim for personal injury compensation. This could allow you to recover damages for any pain, suffering and loss of amenity caused, as well as pursuing any losses and expenses incurred. Given that the complications from pelvic mesh gone wrong can be significant, with injuries being life-changing, it is important to make sure that you claim as some form of access to justice for what has happened.
