- Perforation Injuries: During procedures such as hysteroscopy or dilation and curettage (D&C), there is a risk of perforation, where an instrument punctures the uterine wall or another organ. Perforation injuries can lead to severe pain, internal bleeding, and infection if left untreated.
- Infections: Improper sterilisation of equipment or inadequate post-operative care can result in infections such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) or urinary tract infections (UTIs). These infections can cause discomfort, pain, and in severe cases, lead to long-term health complications.
- Organ Damage: Gynaecological surgeries, such as hysterectomy or ovarian cyst removal, carry the risk of unintentional damage to adjacent organs like the bladder, bowel, or ureters. Organ damage can result in serious health consequences and may necessitate additional corrective surgeries.
- Nerve Damage: Invasive procedures or improper surgical techniques may lead to nerve damage in the pelvic region, causing chronic pain, numbness, or loss of sensation. Nerve injuries can significantly impact a patient's quality of life and may require ongoing medical intervention.
- Failed or Incorrect Procedures: In some cases, gynaecological procedures may fail to achieve the desired outcome or result in unintended complications due to surgical errors or misdiagnosis. This can lead to physical discomfort, emotional distress, and the need for additional medical interventions.
- Fertility/IVF negligence: negligent treatment for artificial insemination, embryo testing, in vitro fertilisation (IVF), intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), intrauterine insemination (IUI), pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PIGD) or surgical sperm retrieval. We’ve also supported many families who had substandard care at NHS services and private clinics, with cases often involving loss or destruction of embryos or sperm, reduced fertility caused by surgical negligence and failure to screen donor sperm properly.
- Failed sterilisation: we could help you make a claim if your surgeon or doctor failed to, clamp or cut the fallopian tubes properly, cut the sperm duct correctly and advise on using contraception for four months after a vasectomy
Why Pursue a Personal Injury Claim for Pregnancy or Gynaecological Injury?
- Financial Compensation: Medical negligence for pregnancy or gynaecological losses can result in substantial medical expenses, ongoing costs, and loss of income. A personal injury claim can help you secure the financial compensation needed to cover these expenses and ensure a stable future.
- Rehabilitation and Support: Recovering from a brain injury often requires extensive rehabilitation and ongoing support. A successful personal injury claim can provide the resources necessary for specialised treatments, therapy, and assistance to enhance your recovery process.
- Holding Responsible Parties Accountable: By pursuing a personal injury claim, you not only seek compensation but also hold those responsible for the negligence accountable. The claim can also help prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
- Quality of Life Improvements: Compensation from a personal injury claim can enable you to access the best available medical care, support services, and medical technologies.
A compensation can cover
- Loss of earnings arising due to the negligence
