You could be eligible to claim compensation if you have suffered any form of injury, loss or distress as a result of unsatisfactory safety information relating to products or services.<\/p>\n

In many such incidents, several people are involved, which is what we specialise in as group and multi-party action lawyers who can help and represent people affected. You can talk to our friendly team for free, no-obligation legal advice here now.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What can be seen as unsatisfactory safety information<\/strong><\/h3>\n

An issue relating to unsatisfactory safety information can come down to advice, either written or verbal, that is issued to someone in relation to a product or service. It could be the case that a product information leaflet or instructions contain unsatisfactory safety information, or it could be that a healthcare professional fails to advise patients about the relevant risks involved.<\/p>\n

What this could mean is that a person uses a product or engages in a service without fully knowing what could go wrong or what could happen to them. It is important for anybody using a product or service to be able to do so on the basis they fully understand what risks are involved. If they are not fully aware of the risks involved, it is not really possible for them to provide informed consent, which is essential for certain elements of a product or service.<\/p>\n

The risk then is that a person could be harmed in a way that was not expected. In an incident where unsatisfactory safety information was issued, the organisation responsible for the issuance of information could be negligent. If they are negligent and breached the law, the victim of any suffering or loss could be entitled to recover compensation.<\/p>\n

In some cases, such incidents can affect many people which is why we, as specialist group and multi-party action lawyers, talk about these matters. Anyone injured or suffering this way could be eligible to claim – speak to our team for free, no-obligation legal advice here now.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Examples of our group and multi-party cases<\/strong><\/h3>\n

One of the easiest examples is that of the hernia mesh and vaginal mesh issues that have been ongoing for over a decade. We represent claimants engaged in compensation for both issues, many of whom are claiming on the basis they were unable to provide informed consent. The basis of this is that the significance and likelihood of risks they could face should something go wrong were not properly explained in some cases.<\/p>\n

In some of the worst cases, vaginal mesh issues can be permanent and can leave people unable to walk or work ever again. A simple question for the patients is this: did you understand that you could face that kind of significant risk? Had you been aware of such risks, would you have still engaged in the treatment anyway, or would you have opted for something different?<\/p>\n

Another example could be that of the PIP Breast Implant compensation action we have been involved in and have recovered over \u00a31.3m in damages to date. Women were not aware that they were being issued with implants of unsatisfactory quality that could contain industrial-grade materials. How could they provide informed consent in this scenario?<\/p>\n

If a person was robbed of their entitlement to informed consent, and that could have changed their mind on what they did, they may be able to pursue a case.<\/p>\n
