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

What Our Clients Say
“My reason for contacting you was to help me find a solicitor to deal with a medical negligence claim. My previous solicitor no longer does this kind of work. I can thoroughly recommend the services that 1st Claims offer for anybody who is seeking advice regarding medical negligence. The lady who took my details was very efficient and polite. Within hours I was phoned by a solicitor who you had recommended, and matters are now proceeding in a satisfactory way.
Before contacting you, I was apprehensive that I was not going to find anybody who would be able to help me in this specialised field. The benefits of your service are the fast response, followup and a good understanding of what is required.
I have complete confidence in recommending your excellent service. I am actually a retired doctor and can understand whether the people with whom I am dealing have a clear knowledge of what is required. Before I rang 1st Claims, i contacted a marketing agency and was told:-
1. That as my claim was so old, it was time barred.
2. they were unable to help as I had already been to another solicitor.
Both the reasons that I was given are completely wrong.

Kindest regards,
Dr E A Hopkins, LRCP MRCS
