TVT surgery compensation claims – know your rights
We continue to take new TVT surgery compensation claims forward on a regular basis, and we’re acting for a number of women on No Win, No Fee agreements.
If you’re only just looking into what rights you have if you’ve suffered complications and problems from the use of pelvic mesh, read this article for some key advice.
We encourage women to come forward and start their legal case as soon as possible. Although we appreciate that this is an incredibly personal and sensitive matter, it’s important to start a claim sooner rather than later to avoid missing out on key deadlines to claim. We have specialist staff here to help, and female lawyers to represent you for the case as well.
TVT surgery compensation claims eligibility
Our eligibility criteria for TVT surgery compensation claims is fairly straightforward:
- You had your surgery in England or Wales (due to differences in jurisdiction, we’re limited to just England and Wales);
- You have suffered complications from the use of the pelvic mesh you have been fitted with;
- Pains, problems, complications, diagnoses, or surgery occurred within the last three years*.
These are the very general things that we look at. Because these types of cases can be complicated, more in-depth risk assessments are, of course, carried out. But if you fit the above criteria, we may be able to help you.
You should always speak to our team first to be able to confirm for definite as to whether we can help you. We’re always happy to offer free, no-obligation advice.
How much can you claim?
It’s important to note that TVT surgery compensation claims are valued using specialist medical evidence together with our own extensive experience, and case law (past settled cases and precedents).
Overall, the value of the case depends on the extent of the suffering and loss you sustain. Generally speaking, the more you suffer, the more you could be able to claim.
The case is normally formed from two parts: General Damages, for the pain, suffering and loss of amenity caused; and Special Damages, for any losses and expenses incurred. Lost earnings claims in these kinds of cases can be substantial where you’re prevented from returning to work for a long period of time, or ever again.
In some cases, the lost earnings claim amounts to the rest of the victim’s life.

* LIMITATION IN TVT SURGERY COMPENSATION CLAIMS: this is important because it can mean the difference between being able to bring a claim or being barred from doing so due to limitation laws. We must assess limitation on a case-by-case basis, but the general guidance is that you only have three years from the date of surgery or date of knowledge of an injury to bring a case. There are variations to this, and you must speak to us to be able to identify exactly when your deadline to claim is. You cannot accept the advice as applying to your case, and you must speak to us to properly identify how long you have.
