Fertility treatment is already a stressful procedure but can be even more so if medical negligence has taken place. We tell you how you can begin a claim.
Fertility treatment can be a stressful and anxious experience for many people going through it.
Although fertility treatment can help people unable to conceive naturally, it doesn’t always guarantee results.
Fertility treatment comes in many forms and can include:
As with any medical procedure or treatment, you expect a high standard of care and practice. But sometimes that isn’t always the case.
Fertility treatment negligence happens when medical professionals don’t their job to the highest standards and can come in the form of:
If you believe that any of the above has happened to you, then you may be a victim of gynaecological negligence and could be entitled to claim compensation.
The impact of fertility negligence is something that can have lifelong effects on you and your loved ones.
It is important to bring a claim against the people or organisation responsible for the negligence, as this can stop the same thing from happening to others in the future.
It can also bring to light the failings that may have happened at the medical provider.
A medical negligence claim payout can go a long way to covering any financial losses you may have suffered, especially with IVF treatment being expensive in many cases.
Suffering from infertility because of medical negligence could see you receive up to £170,280 in compensation.
But the exact amount you would be awarded depends on your individual situation.
You could also claim special damages, which can cover expenses like any lost wages, medical care and even transport to any medical appointments.
We advise that you begin your claim with us at First4Lawyers, and we will be able to put you in touch with a medical negligence expert.
You could also use our handy compensation calculator to get an estimate of what you may receive in compensation.
We offer a No Win No Fee service. If you win your case, any legal fees are deducted from your compensation.
If your case is unsuccessful, you pay nothing.
This means that either way, you won’t have to worry about the cost of getting the best legal help and the justice you deserve.
Only pay a fee if you receive compensation
Our No Win No Fee solicitors will take a success fee from the compensation you are awarded for a successful claim in the form of a percentage of your damages. This could be up to 25% but it won't be more than that, except in cases of road traffic accidents. Changing laws mean our solicitors will now take a payment of 30% of the final compensation amount plus VAT for all road traffic accident claims.
