Were You Aware That You Could Claim Compensation for Transvaginal Mesh Complications?
Many women are unaware that they can pursue a claim for the harm caused by transvaginal mesh implants. By joining a group action claim, you can not only seek compensation for your own suffering but also help hold the manufacturers accountable and raise awareness about the risks associated with these implants.
Our legal team is working hard to help you claim compensation for the physical and emotional damage resulting from complications due to transvaginal mesh implants.
The following factors will be considered when calculating the compensation you may be entitled to receive:
- Severity of Complications: The extent of the physical and emotional suffering you've experienced due to the transvaginal mesh complications will significantly impact the general damages awarded.
- Impact on Daily Life: The degree to which the complications have affected your ability to work, enjoy hobbies, and maintain relationships will also be considered when determining compensation.
- Medical Expenses: The costs you've incurred for additional surgeries, treatments, therapies, and medications related to addressing the complications will influence the special damages awarded.
-
Loss of Earnings: If you've been unable to work or have had to reduce your working hours due to the complications, you may be entitled to compensation for lost income.
-
Future Losses: If ongoing or anticipated future costs are expected due to the complications, such as long-term medical treatment, care, or reduced earning capacity, these will also be taken into account.

Global Settlements in Transvaginal Mesh Claims
The £50 Million Johnson & Johnson's Settlement in Scotland
Recently, hundreds of women in Scotland who suffered injuries from transvaginal mesh implants received a combined £50 million in compensation from Johnson & Johnson.
This follows an Australian court ruling against the company, which resulted in compensation for 1,350 women who had similar implants to treat pelvic prolapse or stress urinary incontinence.
The Importance of this Settlement
Although Ethicon (Johnson & Johnson's medical devices subsidiary) denies any wrongdoing, the settlement is a significant step in acknowledging the damage caused by transvaginal mesh products. It demonstrates that large corporations can be held accountable for the suffering of women affected by these implants.
Joining Forces for Greater Impact
The settlement in Scotland is a positive outcome, but it's not enough to provide closure and compensation for all affected women. That's why we're working to bring together hundreds of women in the UK for this transvaginal mesh group action. By joining forces, we can raise awareness about the harm caused by transvaginal mesh implants, and seek fair compensation for the costs and damages you've experienced.

What is a group action claim?
A group action claim, also known as a class action or collective action, is a legal process in which multiple individuals with similar claims come together to pursue a single case against a common defendant. In this instance, the common defendant would be the manufacturer of the transvaginal mesh implants.
