Claim hernia mesh compensation

You may be eligible to make a claim for personal injury compensation if you’re suffering with hernia mesh problems. If the problems were preventable, there may be a case to answer.

Factors that we consider when we assess a claim can include:

• Whether alternatives were fully explored and could have been offered;
• What (if any) follow-up care, advice and treatment was in place;
• Whether the risks were fully explained and advised.

If any of the above potentially apply to your situation, you may have a claim. We can also investigate whether the surgery was suitable for you, and whether the surgery was carried out with the reasonable care and skill required.
