Infections from pelvic mesh surgery can be a common and known complication or problem<\/strong><\/a> that may arise after a procedure has taken place.<\/p>\n

Infections can also be frequent, and this could be a sign that something is wrong. Whether you may be eligible to claim compensation<\/strong><\/a> for infections or not can be difficult to easily assess, but there are circumstances where we can take a case forward for this. We also offer free, no-obligation assessments<\/strong><\/a> and we can offer No Win, No Fee representation<\/strong><\/a> for eligible clients too.<\/p>\n

Read on for more advice and information.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Are infections common?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Most (if not all) forms of invasive surgery carry the risk of infections. As such, infections from pelvic mesh procedures can occur, and they can be common.<\/p>\n

You should be warned about the risks of infection and how to spot the signs and what to do. You should also have an appropriate aftercare plan in place which can be used to identify infections that may occur. If this doesn\u2019t happen, you could be entitled to make a claim for compensation<\/strong><\/a> as a result of either negligent advice or a lack of aftercare.<\/p>\n

Where appropriate warnings and aftercare is in place, infections can occur and this can be unavoidable. Frequent infections may also take place, and any patient suffering any signs and symptoms should seek urgent advice from their consultant or GP.<\/p>\n

Claiming for infections from pelvic mesh<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Whether you could make a claim for compensation<\/strong><\/a> as a result of infections from pelvic mesh procedures or not can all depend on the circumstances.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve covered above about being able to claim for a lack of advice or aftercare, but what about for the infection itself? Given that it\u2019s a known risk that can occur as a result of this kind of invasive surgery, many instances of infections do not lead to a patient being able to claim.<\/p>\n

However, it can depend on how the infection has happened. If it has arisen from a surgical mistake, you may be able to claim. If it has arisen because the mesh treatment was not appropriate, you may have a case.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, it\u2019s not easy to be able to properly advice unless we fully assess a case and even your medical records to be able to determine if there\u2019s a case or not.<\/p>\n

Free, no-obligation advice<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Although it can be very difficult for us to be able to easily ascertain if you have a case where you have suffered infections from pelvic mesh surgery, we do offer accessible advice and assistance.<\/p>\n

All our initial advice is available for you on a completely free and no-obligation basis. We can assess the case as best we can and make a determination as to whether we can take matters further. We may need to review medical records first, but we can assist in you obtaining these.<\/p>\n

Importantly, if we do agree to take the case forward, we can also offer No Win, No Fee representation<\/strong><\/a> for eligible claims. This means that you can access the justice that you deserve without the worry of what might happen if the clam doesn\u2019t succeed.<\/p>\n
