It may sound obvious when we talk about the importance of preventing medical implant problems before mass scandals occur, but it is a key point to raise given our line of work.<\/p>\n

As specialist Group Action Lawyers, we have represented thousands of people engaged in group and multi-party actions. Some of those have been for medical implant scandals, including the PIP Breast Implant Scandal, the Vaginal and Hernia Mesh issues, and the Metal-On-Metal Hip Implant cases. What this means is that we have seen first-hand just how badly patients can suffer when things go wrong, and we do not want to see a repeat of such scandals and the awful consequences that ensue. Whilst it can be difficult to prevent problems like the PIP Breast Implant cases where deceit was involved, preventing medical implant scandals through better testing and warnings is a development to push forward with.<\/p>\n

It is easy to look back in hindsight and see what could have been done differently. But it is important to look to the future to make sure that there are no repeats of mistakes that could have been prevented.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Preventing medical implant scandals<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Much better systems to not only test medical products but also to flag issues could save thousands of people from repeat scandals like the vaginal and hernia mesh issues that we represent claimants for. Scientists are looking into how they can use medical products in test environments that closely resemble what it would be like inside the human body. More longer-term studies can then be conducted in respect of any changes or problems that then may arise, and this can help with two key areas: 1. To identify problems before mass implantation; and 2. To act as an early warning system that others may then develop problems in the future.<\/p>\n

Had something like this have applied in the case of the vaginal mesh scandal in particular, thousands of women worldwide may not have had the procedure in the first place. Healthcare professionals may have better understood the risks involved, and this could then have formed as key advice to patients before they were consenting to what has since become a procedure that can leave women at risk of lifelong complications.<\/p>\n

The importance of legal action<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Taking legal action is a key form of justice for anyone affected by scandals such as these, but they can also help for preventing medical implant scandals in the future. Appropriate punishment via the legal route can hopefully act as a deterrent against future events whilst ensuring some form of justice for the victims.<\/p>\n

Whilst we cannot turn back the clock and, in some cases, we cannot undo what has been done, victims can be compensated. Victims can benefit from Access to Justice by way of No Win, No Fee legal representation<\/strong><\/a>, which is something that we offer; and something that we pride ourselves on.<\/p>\n

Victims of a scandal could be entitled to receive compensation for any pain, suffering and loss of amenity caused, as well as for any losses and expenses incurred. The latter part can be key when serious injuries leave people unable to work for prolonged periods of time by ensuring they receive money to cover lost wages, as one example.<\/p>\n
