Solicitors Specialising in Failure of Sterilisation & Contraception Compensation
Our specialist medical negligence solicitors have acted for many women who have been surprised to fall pregnant after sterilisation.
Filshie clips are placed across each fallopian tube closing the tube and preventing the eggs moving into the uterus and preventing the sperm reaching the eggs.
Failures of sterilisation nearly always arise from a simple failure of the gynaecologist to properly fix the clips. We have acted in cases where the clips were placed near the fallopian tubes but not on the tubes and in cases where the clips have not been properly fastened.
Although the claims have ultimately succeeded we have received defences which we are told were supported by expert evidence based on the fanciful idea that the clips severed the fallopian tubes which then magically joined together again.
Our specialist solicitors have acted in cases of failures of contraception including failures of Intra Uterine Contraceptive Device (IUCD) or coil and in failures associated with contraceptive implants leading to pregnancy.
Faced with an unexpected pregnancy some women will undergo termination of pregnancy while others will carry the pregnancy to term and have an extra, loved but unplanned child.
What Does Failure of Sterilisation & Contraception Compensation Cover?
The Courts award compensation for the pain and suffering of the termination procedure, or for the pain and suffering of pregnancy, labour and delivery.
Awards are made to cover the mother's loss of earnings and initial costs of providing for the newborn. If the child is disabled, the Courts will award the full additional costs of caring for the child due to their disability for life.
