Gynaecology mistake claims
Gynaecological knowledge has improved a great deal since the 1950’s, but when gynaecology mistakes are made, the consequences can be far-reaching, involving injury to the patient herself and possibly her unborn child. Gynaecology mistakes can also impact upon a woman’s ability to have children.
Common gynaecology mistakes which could give rise to a compensation claim include:-
- physical injury from careless gynaecology procedures;
- failure to diagnose serious gynaecology conditions such as prolapse; sexual or other infectious disease; uterine, ovarian or similar cancers;
- incorrect, unnecessary or inappropriate gynaecology treatment or surgery; and
- mistakes involving use of vaginal mesh.
We deal with gynaecology mistake claims on a no win, no fee basis. This means that we will fund your claim from start to finish and you will not have to pay any legal fees if you lose your case. If you succeed then we will recover most of your costs from your opponent so that you only have to meet any shortfall from your compensation.
It is important not to delay contacting a lawyer as strict time limits apply. Generally speaking you have three years to commence a legal claim from the time you became aware of the problem, though this time limit does not start to run until the patient turns 18.
