It’s genuinely worrying to think that you may never recover from pelvic mesh surgery, and that you may be left with problems and complications for life.
For thousands of women around the world, this isn’t just a worry; it’s reality. If this has happened to you, it can be hard to know where to turn to, which is why we do what we do. We can’t turn back the clock and reverse what has already happened, but we can make sure that you have a voice. And that voice deserves justice, and that’s our aim.
Whether you have suffered permanent problems or not, we may be able to represent you in a claim for personal injury compensation.
Problems can be permanent
Sadly, in some cases, women never fully recover from pelvic mesh surgery. There are instances when patients are left with permanent problems and suffering. In some cases, this can lead to women being left unable to walk or work ever again.
One of the major reasons for this is that it can be difficult, or impossible in some cases, to fully remove mesh once it has been inserted. It’s designed to be permanent, so getting it out if it ends up causing damage or problems cannot always be done.
This can mean women being left with constant pain and being unable to work or enjoy their lives as they had done before. The list of problems and complications that can arise can be extensive, and these issues can literally affect someone for the rest of their life.
What can you do if you don’t recover from pelvic mesh surgery?
If you don’t recover from pelvic mesh surgery, there may be an avenue for justice.
As we often say, we can’t reverse what has been done. But what we can do is pursue a claim for personal injury compensation where we can establish that there has been some form of negligence that has left you in the position that you’re now in.
It could be from a lack of advice and information about the extent of what can happen when things don’t work out. It may be poor surgical technique that has led to problems, or poor aftercare. It may come down to a lack of alternatives being offered.
Whatever it is that has left you in this situation, we may be able to help. If we can take a case forward and we believe that we can succeed, we may also be able to offer No Win, No Fee representation.
What do you claim for?
If you’ll never recover from pelvic mesh surgery, it can be hard to think what you may be able to claim for.
It’ not easy to put a price on a lifetime’s worth of suffering, but as the only avenue for justice, that’s all we can do. One of the most important aspects can actually be compensation for losses and expenses. If you can never work again as a result of your problems, we need to make sure that you’re compensated for a lifetime of earnings, which is possible in a case like this. If you’ll need support, care and treatment for the rest of your life, this needs to be taken into account as well; and private options are on the table.
