If you’re suffering with hernia mesh problems, you may be able to make a claim for personal injury compensation on a No Win, No Fee basis.
We’ve taken on a number of claims recently given the news that the number of people suffering problems can be as high as 30%. As a firm of lawyers who are also involved in vaginal mesh litigation, we know how troublesome these kinds of medical devices can be.
The important thing to know is that you should never suffer in silence if you’re suffering with hernia mesh complications. We may be able to help you, and you may be eligible to make a claim for compensation.
We wanted to put out some key information for those thinking about making a transvaginal mesh claim for compensation where action has yet to be launched.
We know that the thought of legal proceedings can be scary. The thought of having to instruct a law firm can be worrying.
Can you claim? Will you win? Is it really No Win, No Fee?
To put your mind at ease, this article is designed to cover some key information about what you need to do and what you need to know. It’s important to consider your options sooner rather than later because of the multiple deadlines that can occur in cases like this.
If you’ve been affected by the Oculentis recall and you’ve yet to speak to our specialist team about compensation, please get in touch as soon as you can.
With medical product claims like this, there can be a number of timeframes that you may fall foul of if you don’t launch legal action quickly enough. With some people who are having problems not suffering any issues until more than five years post-surgery, we need to be careful when calculating the limitation dates to claim.
Our advice is always the same: start a compensation case as soon you can. You may be eligible to claim compensation if you’re affected by the Oculentis recall, so there’s no need to wait.
There’s been a recall during the summer over valsartan cancer risks that have been identified. A recall has been triggered by regulators.
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has been involved in the recall process. The recall has been triggered over impurities originating from the manufacturing process in China. The impurities are understood to be linked to cancer.
Patients using heart medications that contain valsartan are being asked to speak to their doctor or pharmacist ASAP.
We are very pleased to see that the NHS has finally put a ban on mesh operations as a result of continuing mesh implant problems.
Mesh implant problems have been known for a long time now, and the complications that patients can suffer from are often permanent and incredibly severe. There have been a number of investigations leading to the MHRA previously suggesting that the benefits outweighed the risks of the procedure, before the introduction of guidelines introduced by NICE (The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence). Now, there is a total pause on the procedures altogether in most cases.
We welcome the news as we have been advising people who have suffered mesh implant problems for years.
Lupin Pharmaceuticals Inc. have made a horrendous error with their packaging which could mess up birth control plans for many women.
On 30th May 2017, Lupin Pharmaceuticals Inc. announced a recall for one lot of Mibelas 24 Fe (Norethindrone Acetate and Ethinyl Estradiol 1mg/0.02mg chewable and ferrous fumarate 75mg) tablets after a customer complained there had been a mix-up with the packaging, missing expiry dates and incorrect lot information.
There’s a concern that the mix-up could result in women taking chemically inactive pills on days when they should be taking active tablets, and therefore risk unintended pregnancy.
