We specialise in dealing with claims for compensation for loss of a testicle

If you or a loved one are looking for solicitors who are experienced in claiming compensation for loss of a testicle due to medical negligence, then Oliver Thorne is here to help.

One of the most common causes of a testicle being lost is a delay in diagnosing a condition known as testicular torsion.

Where a patient presents at his GP or hospital  with symptoms of testicular torsion it is vital that the treating medical practitioners act quickly. If they fail to do so then there is a risk that the patient will lose the affected testicle.

Where substandard medical care results in a missed torsion, necessitating removal of the testical (a procedure known as an orchidectomy) then the patient may wish to speak to Oliver about pursuing a compensation claim.

You can read HERE a real-life case study of just one of the successful testicular torsion compensation claims Oliver has dealt with.

As at June 2024, the basic ‘pain and suffering’ award of compensation for the loss of a testicle, along with some psychological consequences but without loss of sexual function or impotence, is between £24,490 and £27,560. However, the full compensation package that Oliver pursues is likely to be considerably greater than this.

When claiming compensation he will also take into account the risk that damage to the remaining testicle could potentially render you infertile. We can therefore recover the costs of arranging for your semen to be frozen and stored.

In addition Oliver will seek compensation for the cosmetic impact and anatomical appearance, which can include the cost of  implanting a prosthesis. When doing so Oliver will build into his calculations the small but real risk of prolonged discomfort, or pain and infection requiring the removal of the prosthesis.

Some claimants have psychological concerns about future infertility, and can be self-conscious about having one testicle. In these cases Oliver will seek compensation to fund specialist psychosexual therapy.

Taking these additional claims into account, along with additional claims for the value of care provided by loved ones, and general out of pocket expenses, the final compensation sum Oliver can recover may exceed £50,000.

Here is just a short selection of some of the reviews that our clients have left for our clinical negligence team:

Maddy Lawrence

“With the premature death of our eldest daughter, as it turned out, by clinical negligence, we were facing a very difficult journey both in proving fault and keeping heart and soul together. That we were able to, in terms of the fault element, was down to our professional legal team. They provided clear, calm and compassionate advice which got us through a horrendous inquest and subsequent legal maneuverers. They, in short, were magnificent and we are extremely grateful that we had them on our side.”

Great firm!

“I had an experience with Oliver Thorne who was nothing but helpful with settling my claim. He was very patient and professional as well as making sure I was happy and content throughout the whole process! Would highly recommend him if you’re looking for a solicitor!”

Compassionate, thorough, and outstanding legal support thus far

”Jade was incredibly friendly, taking the time to ask all the right questions and thoroughly investigate our case. Unlike previous solicitors, who dismissed us, Jade and the team at Slee Blackwell delved deeper and gave us renewed hope. We are extremely grateful for the dedication and professionalism in fighting for us. I would recommend Slee Blackwell to anyone in need of legal assistance.”

Mesh claim

“I cannot thank the team enough there understanding and empathy and the knowledge is outstanding. Caroline has been supportive every step of the way, she has informed me and kept me updated how the claim has progressed she has also had great understanding around my mental health and the physical damage I have occurred. I cannot thank the team enough. The team made this experience easier for me to deal with my emotional distress and pain.”

Thank you

“On behalf of all of us, we would like to thank you for your guidance, professionalism, humanity and kindness you have shown us all throughout this process. You have explained everything to us in clear and concise terms throughout and we are extremely grateful. We would have no hesitation recommending you and using your services in future. Thank you.”

Exceptional Service

“I have received expert advice throughout my case, the attention to detail is second to none. Their professional outlook and relatability means that I always recommend the firm. When I was unclear of any information or possible outcomes they took the time to speak with me on a personal level, confirming our conversation through email, I feel supported and understood and most of all they are empathetic, something that is often missing from large firms.”

Friendly, professional, knowledgeable.

“Oliver assisted me in the aftermath of my father’s sudden death in hospital. He helped me to draught my initial letter of complaint to the health authority, represented me and my mother at the inquest and ultimately succeeded in bringing a successful claim. I always felt I could approach Oliver with any questions and he would explain the legal processes in an understandable way. I would not hesitate to recommend him should anyone find themselves in a similar unfortunate position.”

Excellent solicitor

“I cannot recommend this firm highly enough and especially Caroline who is professional approachable and thorough, she works tirelessly and is a real credit to the firm, you are not made to feel like just a number as with other firms, it’s a pleasure to have such an excellent solicitor to represent you when you have gone through so much she is so understanding and knowledgeable.”
