The issues of pelvic mesh and incontinence is a matter that needs to be taken seriously. As a law firm representing women where these problems have arisen, we know how devastating this can be.
As we often say, we can’t turn back the clocks and reverse what has happened to you. In cases where women are left with permanent problems, we know that no amount of money in compensation can ever undo what has been done. But a legal case can give you a voice, and it can mean that you receive some form of justice for what has happened to you.
We act for a number of women who are claiming for pelvic mesh compensation, and we may be able to help you too.
Pelvic mesh and incontinence claims
When it comes to pelvic mesh and incontinence problems, you can be entitled to make a claim for personal injury compensation.
Although vaginal mesh is supposed to correct problems like incontinence, it can actually lead to it being a permanent problem. It can also worsen the issue if it was already an issue beforehand, and in some cases, there may be nothing that can be done about it. This can leave some women suffering from incontinence problems for the rest of their lives, and that’s something that we need to carefully assess when it comes to a case.
Although we’re sure that you’d much rather not have to be left with a problem like incontinence, we can recover compensation for this. It may not be perfect, but it can be a way of obtaining some form of justice for what has happened to you.
How do we factor this into a claim?
When we look at pelvic mesh and incontinence problems, we need to assess how we can recover compensation for this, which we usually need to look at on a case-by-case basis.
If it was the case that your mesh was supposed to correct the problem, you may be able to recover compensation for being left with the issue. If the incontinence has worsened, this can also be factored into any case we make. If it wasn’t there before you had the mesh, this again can be accounted for.
How we value a case isn’t an exact science. Information like the above is useful, but we need to get you seen by an independent medical expert who can produce a report for us. This report can detail the extent of any pain, suffering and loss of amenity you have suffered with, and will suffer with for the future.
