Women suffering from urinary incontinence may be able to make a claim for personal injury compensation where the cause of the problem is from vaginal mesh surgery.
We can represent women in England and Wales where this is a complication that has developed, worsened, or perhaps not resolved after surgery. With some women left with permanent and irreversible damage after undertaking this kind of surgery, it’s important that victims of negligence have the right to claim.
We can offer free, no-obligation advice for anyone who approaches us for help, and we can offer No Win, No Fee representation for eligible clients too.
Compensation for urinary incontinence
We represent women for vaginal mesh compensation cases where they have suffered a whole range of problems. Some patients have been left with irreversible damage, and it’s important for victims to have some form of justice for what they have to go through.
Some women have been left with absolutely no control over their bladder having had pelvic mesh surgery. Some had the surgery to correct problems like urinary incontinence, which has either remained, worsened, or developed where it wasn’t there before. This is alongside constant pain and problems that many women suffer from as well, with some women describing the pain as like being burned or cut with wire.
There are several factors that remain a concern when it comes to the continued use of the procedure. This includes thing such as:
- A lack of credible alternatives being offered to patients;
- A lack of clear advice about the potential severe risks involved;
- A lack of surgical skill on the part of some of the consultants that carry out the procedure;
- The fact that some procedures are carried out almost “blind” through the vaginal wall.
It’s not always possible to remove or fully remove vaginal mesh once it has been implanted. This can leave some women with permanent problems and suffering, with little to nothing that can ever be done.
A worldwide fight for justice
Many women who have launched legal action in the UK and across the world have suffered from problems such as urinary incontinence. We represent victims in England and Wales for legal cases, but the wider fight for justice rages on.
There have been cases worldwide for vaginal mesh compensation, with some huge success stories around the world. This includes in the US and, recently, in Australia. Individual cases have settled here in the UK and there have been plenty of inquiries, petitions and media noise surrounding the continued use of this much disputed surgery. With thousands affected by problems in the UK, and hundreds of thousands thought to be involved in legal actions across the globe, vaginal mesh remains a hotly debated subject.
