Chronic pain from hernia mesh
Designed to resolve the painful and problematic issues following a hernia, hernia mesh is a form of medical device that has been used in UK healthcare for a number of years. Yet despite its widespread use, hernia mesh has – according to figures from the Royal College of Surgeons – reportedly been found to cause chronic pain in as many as one in ten patients. Chronic pain from hernia mesh can present affected patients with a number of everyday challenges that can be hard to overcome.
The statistics can be alarming, perhaps suggesting widespread concerns that may affect many patients. Many patients may be worried about such issues, and left wondering how such harm was allowed to occur. A similar trend has occurred across patients with pelvic/vaginal mesh implants, suggesting that this type of medical device could be unsafe and unfit for purpose in some cases.
As specialists in consumer group actions and medical negligence claims, we want to help patients who have been unfairly harmed by hernia mesh, as we believe they may have been victims of negligence. If the errors of a medical professional have caused you undue pain, you may be able to claim compensation for any harm caused.
Our Mercedes emissions claim
Our lawyers have been working in the field of emissions litigation since it was first alleged that Volkswagen was guilty of manipulating its diesel vehicles in order to cheat emissions tests. The Volkswagen “Dieselgate” scandal was only a trigger for further allegations, with a host of other car manufacturers being subjected to accusations of emissions fraud. Mercedes was one such manufacturer, and we are looking to address any alleged wrongdoing through compensation action in our Mercedes emissions claim.
If allegations are proven, and Mercedes has failed to comply with emissions regulations, millions of affected customers could potentially be eligible to pursue compensation claims. Should the allegations be proven, Mercedes may be guilty of breaching limits in respect of harmful NOx emissions, and they may also be responsible for a huge breach of consumer rights.
As long-running supporters of the rights of consumers, we saw the Volkswagen “Dieselgate” for the huge injustice that it was. We took action quickly to initiate High Court proceedings against Volkswagen in January 2016, with the eventual litigation that followed resulting in huge numbers of people settling their case. Now, we want to use our invaluable experience and success in emissions litigation to hold other potentially guilty carmakers to account.

Renault emissions diesel compensation claims
Since 2015, a number of regulators and investigators have been scrutinising car manufacturers over potential emissions fraud. The investigations were provoked when the Volkswagen “Dieselgate” scandal first reached the news, with the carmaker being subjected to allegations that it had used illegal defeat device technology to cheat emissions tests. French carmaker Renault has since come under suspicion, and if the accusations prove to be true, those who own or have owned affected vehicles may be eligible to make Renault emissions diesel compensation claims.
Our firm has played a pioneering role in emissions litigation since the beginning. As strong advocates of consumer rights, we saw that the “Dieselgate” scandal represented a significant injustice for thousands of people. We initiated High Court proceedings against Volkswagen to ensure that justice was done, and now we want to ensure that all other suspected carmakers are thoroughly investigated on behalf of customers who may have been subject to emissions cheating.
