Gynaecology Claims

Our approach to gynaecology compensation claims

Our highly acclaimed and succesful solicitors understand that gynaecology compensation claims involve sensitive and personal issues, and we pride ourselves on treating our clients with respect.

All gynaecological operations and procedures involve some risk. Whilst most gynaecology procedures are done well and are successful, mistakes can occur due to medical errors. Other problems can arise from mistakes interpreting smear tests.  Some of these errors can lead to serious problems.

Common Gynaecology Claims

We have obtained compensation in a great number of different gynaecology claims. Common gynaecology errors include:

• Unnecessary hysterectomies
• TVT (Tension Free Vaginal Tape) damage to obturator nerve
• Delayed diagnosis of cervical cancer and smear test errors
• Keyhole surgery (laparoscopy) errors
• Nerve damage
• Retained swabs and retained instruments
• Damage to organs (such as the bladder, bowel and uterus) particular during Caesarian section
• Failing to notice damage to organs (such as the bladder, bowel and uterus)
• Episiotomy in the wrong place and inadequate repairs to episiotomy and tears
• Failure to diagnose third degree tears after childbirth
• Mistakes leading to hysterectomy

We have obtained substantial compensation in a number of gynaecology claims and have the expertise to help you with these difficult claims.

Unnecessary hysterectomies

For years, women suffering from the painful and often debilitating condition, menorrhagia (heavy menstrual bleeding or HMB) have had to endure major surgery, a hysterectomy, to relieve their symptoms.  However, there are less drastic options available.

We are helping more and more women who allege that they have not been properly advised about these alternative treatments for their HMB or fibroids.

Other cases have involved the removal of ovaries during a hysterectomy without obtaining patient consent at all.

If you feel that you have been rushed into a hysterectomy without sufficient reason then please contact us for a confidential no obligation discussion.

We will investigate all funding options for you including 'no win no fee'.
