CLAIMING FOR UROLOGICAL AND GYNAECOLOGICAL INJURIES
Urological and gynaecological injuries caused by medical negligence can have devastating, life-altering consequences. When healthcare professionals fail to provide appropriate care during treatment, surgery, or childbirth, patients can suffer permanent damage that affects their dignity, health and quality of life. If you or a loved one has suffered because of urological or gynaecological negligence, you may be entitled to compensation.
At Liberay Legal we aim to investigate your claim quickly and hold those responsible to account. Once we receive an admission of negligence from the defendant, we will urgently obtain a condition and prognosis report from a leading specialist to identify any treatment or support that may assist with your recovery.
WHAT TYPES OF UROLOGICAL AND GYNAECOLOGICAL NEGLIGENCE CAN YOU CLAIM FOR?
Medical negligence in urological and gynaecological care can occur in several ways, including:
- Surgical errors causing damage to bladder, bowel, or surrounding organs
- Incorrect catheter insertion or management
- Injuries during childbirth
- Delayed diagnosis of serious conditions
- Failure to obtain proper informed consent
- Post-operative care failures
- Inadequate monitoring during procedures

WHAT CONSTITUTES UROLOGICAL AND GYNAECOLOGICAL NEGLIGENCE?
You may have grounds for a urological or gynaecological negligence claim if you’ve experienced:
- Unexpected complications after surgery or procedures
- Severe or persistent pain that wasn’t properly investigated
- Incontinence or loss of bladder or bowel control
- Nerve damage or loss of sensation
- Fistulas or damage to surrounding organs
- Symptoms that were dismissed or ignored
- Infections that weren’t properly treated
- Lack of proper explanation about risks before procedures
- Inadequate post-operative care or monitoring
Being aware of these warning signs can help you understand whether you may have been a victim of medical negligence.
WHAT ARE THE POTENTIAL HEALTH CONSEQUENCES OF UROLOGICAL AND GYNAECOLOGICAL INJURIES?
The impact of urological and gynaecological injuries can be severe, affecting both your physical health and emotional wellbeing.
These injuries can result in chronic pain, incontinence, loss of sexual function, fertility issues, and the need for multiple corrective surgeries. The emotional toll on patients can be profound, affecting confidence, relationships, and mental health.
WHAT KIND OF COMPENSATION CAN I CLAIM FOR UROLOGICAL AND GYNAECOLOGICAL INJURIES?
Compensation for urological and gynaecological injury claims is calculated based on the specific impact the negligence has had on your life. This includes general damages for pain, suffering and loss of amenity, which compensates you for the physical and emotional impact of the injury, including any permanent effects on your quality of life.
You can also claim special damages to cover financial losses such as corrective surgery and ongoing treatment costs, psychological therapy and counselling, care and support needs, travel expenses to medical appointments, loss of earnings if you’ve been unable to work, and necessary home adaptations.
Every case is unique, so the compensation amount varies significantly depending on the type and severity of the injury, the impact on your daily life and relationships, and whether the damage is permanent or can be corrected.
HOW LONG DO YOU HAVE TO MAKE A CLAIM?
Generally, you have three years from the date you became aware that negligence may have occurred to make a medical negligence claim.
However, it’s best to seek legal advice as soon as possible to ensure your claim is handled promptly and evidence is preserved.
