Claim for hernia mesh complications

hernia mesh claims

In recent years, there have been a number of worrying reports about the problems that can be caused by hernia mesh implants, which have been revealed to have a significant complication rate in some cases. While the MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency) still supports the use of the implants, those affected may still be entitled to claim for hernia mesh complications where they arise.

We believe that the lack of awareness surrounding the potential complications caused by hernia mesh is unacceptable in modern medical practice. Whether the blame lies with medical manufacturers, product regulators, or medical practitioners, the damage done to patients can sometimes be irreversible. We believe that they deserve to be compensated for the undue pain and injury that they have suffered.

Private hospitals and medical negligence claims

lawyers advice and help

The majority of high-profile medical negligence claims are often brought against doctors and healthcare professionals working at NHS hospitals. This is because most people use the public healthcare system that we have here, but sometimes people do use private methods.

Although they may be smaller in scale, medical negligence cases can be brought against practitioners at private hospitals, and these cases can be equally valid. Some people choose to pay for private treatment to avoid lengthy NHS waiting times, or because they believe the standard of care may be higher. Some pay for elective treatment that is not offered on the NHS. Unfortunately, medical mistakes may be just as likely to happen.

In fact, many doctors keep up private work alongside NHS work. As such, there could be (in some cases) little difference between the practitioners you encounter at public and private hospitals.
