Failed Sterilisation?

Failed Sterilisation?
Can You Claim Compensation?

When you make a decision to undergo a sterilisation operation, the last thing you expect is for the operation not to work. Unfortunately this does happen. If you are facing this situation, we can help you.

When Can You Claim For A Failed Sterilisation?

Usually a claim for medical negligence can be difficult to prove. However, a failed sterilisation claim is generally very straightforward as the unwanted pregnancy is proof in itself that the sterilisation has not worked as was intended.

Our expert solicitors will advise you quickly whether you can make a claim, and advise you of all funding options available. Often they will be able to help you under a conditional fee agreement with no costs payable by you if you lose or win your claim.

What Compensation Are You Likely To Receive For A Failed Sterilisation?

The law now states that for an unwanted pregnancy the award should be as follows:

  • £15,000 for the infringement of the right to limit your family size
  • £5,000 for the pain and suffering of labour
  • Compensation for loss of earnings during your maternity leave
  • The additional costs of new baby equipment such as prams, cots etc
