Failed Sterilisation Compensation Claims
Sterilisation is a popular choice amongst those couples that don’t wish to have any children, or whose family is complete. When sterilisation fails – it can lead to unwanted pregnancy, which in turn can lead to psychological distress and financial difficulties for the family involved.
Sterilisation can fail through no fault of the medical professionals involved, such as, the natural re-growth of the fallopian tubes or sperm duct. However, some can come down to surgical error, which may amount to clinical negligence and entitle you to receive compensation for the consequences suffered. Scenarios where you may have a successful failed sterilisation compensation claim include:
- Filshie clips have been incorrectly attached to the fallopian tubes, leading their detachment and allowing the egg to travel along the tubes for fertilisation.
- Generally, the sooner a woman falls pregnant after sterilisation, the more likely it will be due to medical negligence, rather than natural re-growth of the tubes.
- In relation to vasectomies, the doctor usually will have cut another structure, for example, a ligament, thinking the sperm duct has been severed.
- Further to that, medical negligence can arise where the doctor has given incomplete medical advice, for example, regarding vasectomy aftercare.
- A claim may be possible where there was a failure to advise a male patient to use alternative forms of contraception for 2-3 months after to enable all the sperm to leave the system.
