Mistakes made in Gynaecology and obstetrics account for over half of all medical negligence claims. So our solicitors have a great deal of experience in this area. The commonest gynaecological claims are for misdiagnosis but there are many other types of claim due to complications resulting from surgery.

A GYNAECOLOGY CASE SUCCESS STORY

 

Miss Y was in her early twenties when a cervical smear was shown to have no abnormalities. Soon afterwards cervical cancer was diagnosed and radical treatment was required leading to loss of fertility. Miss Y wondered whether the smear had been correctly reported.

 

We worked on a No Win No Fee basis and our in-house doctor suspected that the smear report had been negligent. We obtained all the records and medical expert opinion which confirmed that the smear had revealed a cancerous condition which could have been treated conservatively preserving Miss Y's fertility.

 

Expert evidence was obtained to deal with the value of the claim and we negotiated settlement for £365,000.
