Medical negligence cases alone can be some of the most significant that there are, so when hundreds or thousands of people are affected, the damage can be substantial.<\/p>\n<p>They can stem from issues over advice or treatment from specific medical practitioners, or involving specific medical implants and products. If enough people are affected, cases can form into Group Litigation Order (GLO) actions where many people can come together to pursue justice in a collective legal case. Often referred to \u2018across the pond\u2019 in America as a &#8216;class action&#8217; case, the power of the people coming together and benefiting from strength in numbers can really help. As our name confirms, these kinds of collective group actions is exactly what we specialise in.<\/p>\n<p>We cannot turn back the clock &#8211; but joining a group action to pursue compensation for any pain, suffering and loss of amenity caused, and for losses and expenses, can be the only form of justice available. The losses and expenses part of the legal case can be key to ensuring that things like lost earnings are accounted for, and private treatment and surgery can look to be factored in.<\/p>\n<p>This is what we do, and this is how we can help you.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Some infamous examples<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>There have been a few examples of mass medical negligence claims for compensation in recent years that we represent people for. One of the most recent ones is the issues involving University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust in respect of the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.groupactionlawyers.co.uk\/blog\/382-patients-involved-in-the-royal-derby-hospital-gynaecologist-investigation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">former gynaecologist Daniel Hay<\/a>. <\/strong>A number of women have come forward having been potentially harmed as investigations continue into the treatment of patients who were under his care.<\/p>\n<p>We are still taking cases forward for anyone affected by similar medical negligence matters such as those involving <a href=\"https:\/\/www.groupactionlawyers.co.uk\/blog\/cyberattack-compensation-for-travel-data-breach-victims\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Ian Paterson<\/strong><\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.groupactionlawyers.co.uk\/sandwell-west-birmingham-hospital-nhs-trust-pop-group-action\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Dr Arunkalaivanan from the Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospital NHS Trust<\/strong><\/a>. The latter of which is in respect of the use of pelvic mesh for Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) treatment, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.groupactionlawyers.co.uk\/vaginal-mesh-implants-compensation-claims\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>vaginal mesh issues<\/strong><\/a> themselves are matters we continue to represent people for. We are also representing patients affected by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.groupactionlawyers.co.uk\/hernia-mesh-compensation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>hernia mesh problems<\/strong><\/a> that are similar to the vaginal mesh problems.<\/p>\n<p>There can be deadlines to start such cases, and some may have already passed. You should not delay seeking advice from us to give yourself the best chance of being able to pursue a legal case.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of more historic ones, there was the PIP Breast Implant Scandal where we have recovered over \u00a31.3m in damages to date so far, and the metal-on-metal hip implant issues that arose at around the same time. This is an example of an action where all the deadlines that we have in place have expired.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Speak to The Group Action Lawyers today<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.groupactionlawyers.co.uk\/contact\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>speak to the team for free, no-obligation advice now<\/strong><\/a> about mass medical negligence claims for compensation.
