Gynaecology Negligence Solicitors

As a result of gynaecological or obstetric injury, depending on the precise area of damage and the subsequent treatment and care provided, patients may suffer long-term consequences. Obstetric negligence may have permanent implications for mother and baby, meaning two lives may be significantly affected. Some patients as a result of medical negligence may find it harder to become pregnant or may even become infertile. Patients may also suffer ongoing pain, blood loss, infection, an inability to have sexual intercourse, or urinary incontinence.

To bring a claim for a gynaecological or obstetric injury due to clinical negligence, it will be necessary to provide evidence that:

• The standard of care you received fell below a satisfactory standard, and;
• This negligence caused damage or injury.

To prove your case, we will compile evidence, including medical records, and seek expert medical opinion.

Claims following the confirmation of gynaecological or obstetric injury  due to medical negligence may cover two areas of loss:

• Pain and suffering due to the injury; and
• Specific costs resulting from the injury caused. This may cover costs already incurred, such as transport, accommodation, and medical treatment, and expected future expenses, such as physical therapy and care costs.  The costs you receive will be based on the precise injuries suffered and the circumstances of the case.
