Unplanned pregnancy claims |Unnecessary surgery

Sterilisation is often a difficult and painful decision to make and the procedure sometimes cannot be reversed. However many families are happy to make this decision to limit their family size.

Failed sterilisation procedures are a huge shock to a person and there may also be ethical dilemmas associated with unwanted pregnancies.

We at Swain & Co Solicitors can offer sensitivity in this difficult area and provide clear and concise advice.

Common faults with male sterilisation include:

• Incorrectly cut ligaments

Similar problems can also arise with female patients during a hysterectomy and the complications that can arise with this procedure. Problems that we can investigate on your behalf include:

• Mis-applied filshie clips to the fallopian tube
• Failure to prevent the fallopian tubes from re-growing
• Unnecessary surgery when a laproscopy could have been used
• Tissue damage
• Permanent scarring

The effects of a failed sterilisation can have a devastating effect on family life. If a sterilisation has failed as a result of a medical mistake then we can help you win the compensation that you are entitled to.
