If you’re thinking about starting a claim with us and you want to know how we work out vaginal mesh compensation amounts, here’s a little insight for you.
There can be a great deal of work involved in the process of calculating the final pay-out for a pelvic mesh compensation case. Not only is there a lot to consider, but valuations and settlements can be substantial given how bad problems and complications can be. With some women suffering irreversible damage, we leave no stone unturned when it comes to making sure we get the maximum possible amount for our clients.
Here’s how we value cases.
What do we consider?
When it comes to what factors we consider for vaginal mesh compensation amounts, we primarily look at two things:
- General Damages, for the pain, suffering and loss of amenity caused;
- Special Damages, for losses and expenses.
There’s a great deal more to it in terms of what comes under those two key headings. For General Damages, we need to look at things like:
- How bad the pain has been and how it has affected you;
- The need (and success) of more operations;
- Lasting mobility issues;
- The impact on your ability to live your everyday life as you had done prior to the problems.
When it comes to the Special Damages side of a case, there’s all sorts we can consider, such as:
- Lost earnings from time off work, including future lost earnings and even the loss of a career;
- Private surgery and private treatment costs if such action will help to improve the recovery or care pathway for the patient;
- Medication expenses;
- Care and assistance expenses;
- Other general losses incurred.
How we work out vaginal mesh compensation amounts
We use specialist medical evidence from at least one consultant to put together a comprehensive report that allows us to calculate vaginal mesh compensation amounts for our clients.
Not only do these reports detail the injury and suffering side, they also help to justify the losses and expenses side too. The report is based on your medical records and an appointment with you. We use some of the best independent medical experts in the country for our medical reports to ensure that our clients can benefit from comprehensive evidence to support the case.
We also put together a Schedule of Special Damages that – together with documentary evidence like receipts or wage slips – shows how much you have lost or spent as a result of the injuries. With our final medical evidence and a completed Schedule, we should have all that we need to properly value a claim for compensation.
