The results of the recently published report that follows a huge pelvic mesh inquiry in the UK has revealed worrying details about some patients being let down.
As a specialist medical negligence law firm, we have been representing clients for vaginal mesh compensation claims for years. These cases are some of the most severe there can be as patients can be left with permanent damage and lifelong suffering. In some cases, the pain and problems can turn the victim’s life upside down.
The results of the pelvic mesh inquiry may come as some form of closure for women who may have been let down by the healthcare system and the manufacturers. In terms of what can be done about it, a claim for personal injury compensation can be the way to achieve some form of justice for what you have to endure.
We offer advice and representation for women who need to make a pelvic mesh compensation claim, and we can offer No Win, No Fee arrangements as well.
We’re currently helping several women who have signed-up for legal cases with us, and we have been helping people for these matters over many years. In Australia, a recent court victory was welcome news, and we have seen several settled actions in the US as well. In the UK, there hasn’t been a successful group action as of yet (as far as we know), but we’re pursuing individual claims which can settle.
Whether your claim is against a manufacturer, surgeon or a hospital in general, we can help.

We have to issue a warning when it comes to the deadlines you have to start your hernia mesh lawsuit. We don’t want you to leave it too late.
Right now, we’re acting for a number of victims who are making a No Win, No Fee hernia mesh compensation claim with us. We could be acting for more victims, but we’ve had to turn some mesh cases away. The reasons for turning these sorts of cases away can often be down to the deadlines people have to claim.
There can be more than one potential deadline in an action of this nature, and we can give you some general guidance. However, to properly determine the deadlines that apply to you, you must contact us ASAP.
We strongly recommend that you seek help from our hernia mesh lawyers as soon as you can if you’re serious about making a claim for compensation.

Deadlines to initiate a case in these kinds of circumstances can be complicated. That’s why we always recommend that you speak to us as soon as you can to avoid missing out.

A medical device alert was issued in February this year. It stemmed from the Stryker recall where some patients could suffer with elbow implant problems.
We’re no strangers to helping people claim personal injury compensation when a medical implant goes wrong. Our lawyers are engaged in dozens of group and multi-party actions, some of which include medical implants that have left patients suffering with complications. In some cases, the need for revision surgery is bad enough, but the additional complications that can arise can also be severe too.
If you’re suffering with elbow implant problems, you should seek urgent medical attention. The problems could be related to an issue like the Stryker recall. Either way, our lawyers may be able to help you make a claim.
The new vaginal mesh guidelines that have been put in place following last year’s widespread pause in the NHS have come under heavy criticism already.
All we can say is that we know just how bad it can be for the women whose vaginal mesh procedures fail. We see the impact it has on people when lives can be turned upside down, with complications leaving some women unable to walk or work ever again. We act for women who have suffered horrendous problems, and some complications simply cannot be resolved.
The 2018 NHS pause was a step in the right direction, but the continued use of mesh slings and tapes remains a serious concern.
The Bard mesh recall has not only come into immediate effect, it also comes with the company ceasing production in the European market as well.

Announced this month, the recall has been triggered with immediate effect, and healthcare organisations are being directed to take action right away.
We’ve recently been accepting more TVT mesh claims for personal injury compensation. If you have yet to make a vaginal mesh claim, we recommend you speak to us as soon as possible.
