Legal advice for TVT surgery claims
Following the criticism over the new guidelines that came out last month, we’ve received further enquiries from people asking for advice about TVT surgery claims.
With the issues surrounding vaginal mesh in the news again, here’s some advice for you if you’ve yet to speak to anyone about your options for compensation.
One of the first things we often remind people about is to make sure that you seek advice as soon as you can. There can be a number of timeframes to start a case in a legal action of this nature. Leaving it too late can be the difference between receiving tens of thousands of pounds or getting absolutely nothing as a victim of TVT surgery gone wrong.
Raindrop near vision inlay recall
The Raindrop Near Vision Inlay recall has been initiated due to an increased risk of corneal haze that patients implanted with the devices may experience.
A Medical Device Alert was issued via the MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency) a few weeks ago. There’s a warning to not implant Raindrop Near Vision Inlays and to dispose of any unused stock of them.
Any patients who have already been implanted with the inlays are to be monitored, and any incidents and problems are to be reported. This recall follows the recent news coverage about the Oculentis recall, which is one of the compensation actions we’re representing people for.
TVT mesh claims: join the action
You can join the legal action we’ve launched for women who are making TVT mesh claims having suffered problems and complications following their surgery.
Although different women can suffer in different ways, and each person has their own claim for compensation, we’re acting for a group that may either form into one action or remain as a multi-party action. These kinds of medical group actions are what we specialise in. We’ve recovered over £1.3m in compensation for a similar medical group action, and we’ve been appointed to the Steering Committee leading what’s set to be one of the biggest consumer actions in the UK.
When it comes to group actions, our expertise speaks for itself. Women who have yet to start TVT mesh claims may be eligible for our help today.
Start your Oculentis claim today
If you’ve yet to start your Oculentis claim, here’s some information about getting started today. It’s important to claim as soon as you can.
If you’re one of the hundreds of people who have suffered with opacification problems having been fitted with intraocular lenses manufactured by Oculentis, you may have a claim for compensation. The blind spots and cloudiness in the vision can be caused by calcification from phosphate that was previously used in the manufacturing process.
The way to correct the problem is to have further surgery for the lenses to be replaced. You may be able to claim personal injury compensation for having to undergo the further surgical procedure.
Oculentis compensation action
If you’ve yet to initiate your legal action for Oculentis compensation, make sure you speak to our team as soon as you possibly can.

You may be eligible to claim Oculentis compensation if you’re one of the hundreds of people affected by the recall of their intraocular lenses.

Dangerous vitamin and mineral supplements
Are vitamin and mineral supplements pointless and potentially dangerous? Some experts think they are. What does this mean for users?
An American study claims that some vitamin and mineral supplements don’t provide for any health benefits to the user at all. Worse still, their research also suggested that some may actually increase the risks of death. Some may also be problematic for people with particular conditions, like diabetes.
In an age where health and beauty are important, are being people ripped off? Are some people even being put in danger?
Risperdal compensation deal agreed ahead of trial
A Risperdal compensation deal has been agreed ahead of a trial. This is said to be one of many potentially multi-million-pound settlements over the drug.
Some users who have been taking Risperdal medication have suffered severe side-effects. The use of the drug has also been involved in off-label marketing; i.e. using the drug for alternative reasons than what regulators have approved the drug for.
Off-label marketing can be a real problem for consumers. When pharmaceutical giants see slow sales in particular products, they can be tempted to repackage them and sell them for different uses. Sometimes this isn’t a bad thing, but when the drug isn’t approved for certain uses, and where certain side-effects are prominent in off-label uses, people can suffer.
