CLAIMING FOR UROLOGICAL AND GYNAECOLOGICAL INJURIES

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.

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.

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.

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.
