Gynaecological negligence claims

Gynecological claims are wide ranging and can vary due to the array of often complex procedures carried out in this area. Gynaecological claims can include:

  • anaesthetic care
  • cancer misdiagnosis
  • colposcopy
  • damage caused during abortion, and other abortion-related issues
  • dilation and curettage (D&C)
  • errors made during abortion operations
  • failed sterilisation operations & wrongful birth
  • failure to diagnose pregnancy
  • hospital infections
  • hysterectomies
  • myomectomy (uterine fibroid removal)
  • oophrectomy (ovarian removal)
  • perforation of the uterus during procedures including the insertion of contraceptive coils
  • post-operative complications
  • problems arising from prescribed contraception
  • salpingectomy (fallopian tube removal)
  • unnecessary or failed procedures

 

Gynaecological claim categories

Gynaecological claims can fall into one of two categories:

  • failure to treat or diagnose a Gynaecological complication 
  • positive action by a doctor which causes a Gynaecological injury

Failure to treat or diagnose – This can include a failure to diagnose a Gynaecological condition by failing to carry out appropriate tests or misreading test results after having carried out the correct tests.

Positive action leading to Gynaecological injury – This can include carrying out an incorrect procedure faced with a certain set of circumstances or having selected the correct procedure in the circumstances, carrying out the procedure in the incorrect manner.

If you have suffered a Gynaecological injury as a result of treatment you have received or as a result of a failure by a doctor to diagnose a condition then you may have a potential medical negligence claim.

Whatever your injury, Hugh James have the commitment, resources, expertise, experience and standing to get the result you want - and to make the process of pursuing clinical or medical negligence compensation claims as easy as possible for you.
