What is surgical mesh compensation?
Surgical mesh compensation is a way for victims who are suffering with mesh complications to receive damages (as money) for the injustice against them.
A mesh compensation claim is usually made up of two key parts:
- General Damages: this is damages for any pain, suffering and loss of amenity caused. With mesh implant complications often being so severe, it’s important for women to receive damages for their suffering;
- Special Damages: for any losses and expenses. This could be lost earnings from time off work, or private medical expenses.
Combined, these two elements make up the Global Damages for the case. You will typically settle the claim based on how badly you have suffered, and how much money you have lost or spent. Generally speaking, the more you suffer, the more you can be entitled to claim for.
How do you claim surgical mesh compensation?
When you claim compensation for a mesh implant, you instruct a law firm like us who specialise in mesh injury legal cases. We submit the claim to whoever is at fault for the problems you’ve had, and we then fight for your right to receive compensation.
Importantly for the victims, we can do this on a No Win, No Fee basis.
Succeeding with a surgical mesh compensation case can be hard. The Defendants in the cases often try and defend the legal actions against them, and some women have not had a great deal of success in winning claims. The success of each case depends on the merits of the claim itself. Our best advice is to make sure you instruct an experienced and specialist mesh implant law firm to help you like us.
