About Contraception Failure Compensation Claims
While all forms of contraception carry some risk or failure rate, if you have suffered as a result of a negligent sterilisation procedure on the part of a medical professional, it may be possible to claim financial compensation for the pain and suffering that their mistakes have caused.
We regularly help the victims of contraception negligence to claim compensation for a range of contraception and sterilisation related issues, including unwanted pregnancy and its physical and emotional after-effects.
We also help clients claim compensation for related issues, such as:
- Side effects of oral contraception
- Complications relating to injectable hormones
- Complications relating to intrauterine devices
Types of Contraception Requiring Surgery
There are various forms of contraception, including condoms and the contraceptive pill, but the main types that require surgical treatment include female sterilisation and vasectomies. For each procedure, there is potential for things to go wrong should the medical professional involved act in a manner that can be deemed negligent.
Female sterilisation
This is a form of surgery that involves the fallopian tubes, which connect the ovaries to the womb, being sealed or blocked. This prevents the woman's eggs from reaching the sperm and removes the possibility of the eggs becoming fertilised. However, doctor error can result in the procedure not being performed correctly and may include improper fastening of clips to the fallopian tubes.
Vasectomy
A vasectomy involves the tubes that transport a man's sperm from the testicles to the penis being cut and sealed, which means the sperm is cut off from reaching the semen. As a result, there is no sperm in the semen when it is ejaculated from the man's penis. Mistakes during this procedure can occur, however, and may involve an incorrect structure, such as a ligament, being cut instead of the intended tube.
