What is a Gynaecology negligence claim?

Gynaecology negligence claims involve seeking compensation for injuries, complications or losses caused by mistakes in the diagnosis, treatment or care of conditions affecting the female reproductive system.

Gynaecology claims occur when the treatment provided by a gynaecologist is inadequate and below the expected standard of care, resulting in harm that could have been avoided.

Our specialist gynaecology claims solicitors are here to guide you through the process, ensuring you receive the compensation and support you deserve.

Gynaecology Negligence Claims Compensation

The effects of gynaecological negligence can be devastating, impacting both your physical health and emotional wellbeing. Errors in diagnosis, treatment, or surgical care can lead to serious complications, including chronic pain, infections, organ or nerve damage, fertility problems and psychological trauma.

While compensation cannot undo the harm caused, it can provide important financial support to help you move forward. A successful claim may cover medical expenses, ongoing treatment, loss of earnings, rehabilitation costs, and the wider impact the negligence has had on your life.

Examples of Gynaecology Negligence Compensation

The Judicial College Guidelines provide the follow estimations for gynaecology negligence payouts:

  • Infertility due to injury + severe pain, sexual dysfunction, depression, and anxiety: £140,000 – £207,000.
  • Permanent sexual dysfunction (where having children was unlikely): £52,000 – £125,000.
  • Infertility with no aggravating features (in a young person having no children): £68,000 – £87,000.
  • Long-term interference (complete recovery): £28,000 – £38,000.

Types of Gynaecological Negligence Claims

  • Failure to identify ovarian, cervical, or womb cancer from tests (smears, scans).
  • Missing ectopic pregnancies or serious conditions like endometriosis.
  • Incorrectly diagnosing fibroids or cysts, leading to unnecessary treatment or delayed critical care.
  • Injury to nearby organs (bowel, bladder, ureters) during hysterectomies or laparoscopies (e.g., perforation).
  • Leaving swabs, instruments, or surgical material inside the body.
  • Performing unnecessary surgery, like removing an ovary or performing a hysterectomy instead of a planned procedure.
  • Incorrect insertion of contraceptive coils (IUDs), causing perforation.
  • Failed sterilization procedures.
  • Prescribing contraceptive pills despite risks (e.g., blood clot history).
  • Inadequate care for conditions like endometriosis, leading to worsening damage.
  • Errors in managing childbirth complications (e.g., tears, pre-eclampsia) or abortions.
  • Prescribing incorrect medication or dosages.
  • Ignoring repeated symptoms of serious conditions like endometriosis and failing to refer for specialist tests.
  • Performing procedures without fully explaining risks, preventing the patient from making an informed decision.

Making a gynaecology negligence claim starts with seeking legal advice from an experienced solicitor. At Satchell Moran, we will listen to your circumstances, review the details of your treatment, obtain relevant medical records and advise you on whether you may have a valid gynaecology claim.
