Endometriosis is a chronic condition where tissue similar to the lining of the womb grows elsewhere in the body—often in the pelvis, around the ovaries, fallopian tubes, bowel or bladder. Symptoms can vary widely and often overlap with other conditions, which is one reason diagnosis can be delayed.
chronic pelvic pain
painful sex
pain with bowel movements or urination (especially during periods)
heavy or irregular bleeding
fatigue
fertility problems or difficulty conceiving
If you experienced persistent symptoms and felt dismissed, not referred, or not properly investigated, it may be worth seeking advice.
Not every delay or poor experience will amount to negligence—but compensation may be possible if the care you received fell below an acceptable standard and that caused avoidable harm.
Examples we commonly see include:
repeated GP visits with ongoing symptoms but no proper examination or follow-up
symptoms attributed to “normal period pain” without considering endometriosis
lack of appropriate history-taking and red-flag questioning
IBS, PID, ovarian cysts, stress/anxiety, or “normal pain” diagnosed without adequate investigation
treatment given for the wrong condition while endometriosis progresses
A delay can have real and lasting consequences. Depending on the individual, you may be able to claim for:
progression of disease and worsening pain
avoidable invasive procedures or emergency admissions
reduced fertility chances and increased need for IVF
impact on work, income, education, and daily life
psychological injury (anxiety, depression, trauma)
costs of private treatment, medication, travel, and care
We take time to understand your specific experience and the impact on your life—not just the medical notes.
Compensation (damages) in endometriosis claims can include:
For pain, suffering, and loss of amenity (how your day-to-day life has been affected).
For financial losses and expenses, such as:
loss of earnings / reduced earning capacity
private consultations, scans, surgery, physiotherapy
fertility treatment costs where relevant
prescription charges and ongoing medication
travel costs and assistance/care provided by family
Medical negligence claims in England & Wales are usually subject to strict time limits (commonly 3 years, with important exceptions). The safest option is to get advice as soon as possible, especially where symptoms have been ongoing for years and you’re unsure when “the clock” started.
We can explain time limits clearly and tell you where you stand.
At NJS Law, our specialist endometriosis compensation claim solicitors can quickly assess your eligibility and guide you through the process on a No Win, No Fee basis — ensuring you don’t pay any legal fees unless your claim is successful.
At NJS Law, we keep the process clear and supportive. A typical claim involves:
We speak with you about:
your symptoms and timeline
what your GP/hospital did (or didn’t do)
how the delay/mistakes affected your health, fertility, work and life
We’ll tell you whether the case is worth investigating and explain funding options (including No Win No Fee where appropriate).
If you choose to proceed, we request relevant records, which may include:
GP records and referral history
hospital notes, scans, clinic letters
surgery/laparoscopy notes
fertility clinic notes (if applicable)
We may also ask for supporting documents such as wage slips, appointment confirmations, and receipts.
A specialist expert (e.g., gynaecology) reviews your case to address:
breach of duty: whether your care fell below a reasonable standard
causation: whether that failure caused avoidable harm (e.g., prolonged pain, progression, reduced fertility chances, more invasive treatment)
This expert evidence is central to most medical negligence claims.
If the expert evidence supports your case, we send a formal Letter of Claim setting out:
what should have happened
what went wrong
the impact on you
the compensation being sought
The defendant (usually an NHS body) then investigates and responds.
Many claims resolve through negotiation once liability and evidence are clear. Where appropriate, we may seek:
interim payments (money paid early) to fund private treatment, therapy, or cover urgent financial pressures
rehabilitation support where available
If the defendant denies fault or offers an unacceptable settlement, we can issue court proceedings to protect your position—especially where time limits are approaching. Most cases still settle before trial, but we prepare every case thoroughly.

Possibly. If symptoms were persistent, severe, or escalating and there was a failure to properly investigate or refer, we can assess whether that fell below an acceptable standard.
Not always, but a confirmed diagnosis often helps. If you’re still seeking diagnosis, we can discuss your situation and whether there are steps you can take to obtain clarity.
In some cases, yes—depending on the medical evidence and whether earlier diagnosis/treatment would likely have improved fertility outcomes.
