Women’s health medical negligence claims are time-sensitive. In most cases, the time limit begins from the date you first became aware of the injury, misdiagnosis, or harm. At NJS Law, our specialist women’s health negligence solicitors emphasise that taking early action is crucial to:
Preserve essential medical and hospital records related to your gynaecological condition, childbirth injury, fertility issue, or cancer diagnosis;
Secure expert medical opinions and a thorough specialist review;
Maximise your chances of success and achieve the compensation you deserve;
Ensure you receive expert legal support and guidance from the very start of your claim.
Delays in pursuing a women’s health negligence claim can limit your legal options. If you believe you’ve suffered harm due to delayed diagnosis, mismanagement, or substandard care, contact NJS Law today for a confidential, no-obligation consultation.
Our women’s health claim solicitors have a proven track record of securing compensation for women affected by medical negligence, ensuring justice for those impacted by critical healthcare failures. Whether you have experienced complications due to misdiagnosed cancers, gynaecological injuries, or fertility problems, we are here to fight for your rights and hold negligent healthcare providers accountable.
Our women’s health claim solicitors have extensive experience in a wide range of women’s health claim areas, including but not limited to:
Women’s cancers & delayed diagnosis – such as breast cancer, cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, womb cancer, vulval cancer and vaginal cancer.
Gynaecological negligence – including mis-diagnosed or delayed diagnosis of conditions like endometriosis, surgical errors in hysterectomy, mesh/TVT device complications, sterilisation/contraception failures.
Fertility & reproductive treatment claims – negligent fertility treatment (e.g., IVF errors, delayed referral), surgical injury affecting fertility, wrong-site operations.
Childbirth, obstetrics & maternal injury claims – mis-management during labour or delivery (e.g., vaginal tears, pelvic fractures, prolapse, post-partum haemorrhage), injury to mother or baby, birth trauma.
General women’s health claims – including failures in screening programmes (smear tests, mammograms), contraception advice errors, undetected ectopic pregnancy, incontinence arising from treated or untreated gynaecological injury.
Each of these areas can have profound lifelong consequences, and our job is to help you hold negligent parties to account, and seek compensation that reflects both the physical harm and the emotional, financial and lifestyle impacts.
You may be eligible to make a women’s health medical negligence claim if you have suffered avoidable harm because of substandard care related to your health, pregnancy, fertility, or gynaecological treatment.
At NJS Law, we help women across the UK who have experienced injuries, complications, or delayed diagnoses resulting from medical negligence in any aspect of women’s healthcare.
You could be eligible to make a claim if:
A doctor, midwife, nurse, or healthcare provider failed to deliver the accepted standard of care during diagnosis, treatment, surgery, or childbirth.
You experienced a delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis of conditions such as breast cancer, cervical cancer, endometriosis, or ovarian cysts.
You suffered injury or long-term complications from gynaecological surgery, contraceptive procedures, or mesh/tape implants.
You sustained maternal injury or your baby was harmed due to errors during pregnancy, labour, or postnatal care.
You endured fertility treatment mistakes such as IVF errors, failed sterilisation, or negligent reproductive care.
You lost trust in your care because your symptoms or pain were ignored, dismissed, or inadequately investigated.
You may bring the claim if you are:
The woman directly affected by negligent treatment;
A parent or guardian claiming on behalf of a child affected by medical negligence;
A family member or representative acting for a woman who cannot claim herself (for example, due to incapacity or death).
In most cases, you have three years from the date of the negligence or from when you first realised the harm was caused by negligent treatment (known as the “date of knowledge”). Exceptions apply for minors and those lacking mental capacity.
At NJS Law, our experienced medical negligence solicitors can advise on your eligibility and deadlines, ensuring no opportunity for justice is lost.
Every women’s health medical negligence claim is unique, reflecting not only the physical harm caused but also the emotional, financial, and lifestyle impact of that negligence.
At NJS Law, we take time to understand your individual experience to ensure your compensation truly reflects what you have been through — and what you will need for the future.
Your total compensation (known as “damages”) is generally divided into two main categories:
1. General Damages
These cover the pain, suffering, and loss of amenity you have experienced. In women’s health claims, this can include:
Physical injury from gynaecological surgery errors or childbirth trauma
Emotional distress and loss of confidence in medical care
Chronic pain or reduced quality of life following negligent treatment
Impact on fertility, sexual health, or ability to have children
2. Special Damages
These address the financial losses caused by negligence, both current and future, such as:
Loss of earnings or reduced capacity to work
Ongoing medical treatment, therapy, or rehabilitation costs
Mobility aids, home adaptations, or specialist care
Travel expenses for medical appointments
Support for dependents or childcare assistance
For many women, the consequences of negligent healthcare extend far beyond the initial injury. We consider future financial and emotional implications, including:
Long-term psychological impact or trauma
Future surgeries or fertility treatments
Need for counselling or specialist women’s health therapy
Our experienced solicitors work closely with medical experts and financial specialists to ensure every aspect of your claim is properly valued.
NJS Law offers No Win, No Fee agreements, meaning you only pay legal costs if your claim succeeds. This ensures access to justice for all women affected by medical negligence, without financial pressure or risk.
At NJS Law, we know that starting a women’s health medical negligence claim can feel overwhelming. Our expert solicitors are here to guide you through every stage with sensitivity, professionalism, and complete transparency. Below is an overview of how the process works — from your first conversation with us to achieving a fair outcome.
We begin with a free, confidential consultation to understand what happened and how it has affected your life. During this call or meeting, we will:
Listen carefully to your story and review any medical information you already have;
Assess whether your situation may amount to medical negligence;
Explain your legal rights and options clearly, without jargon or pressure.
This first step gives you clarity on whether you can pursue a women’s health claim and what evidence will be needed.
Once you decide to proceed, our team will:
Request all relevant hospital and GP records;
Obtain independent expert opinions from trusted medical professionals;
Build a detailed picture of how the treatment you received fell below an acceptable standard and caused harm.
This stage is crucial in proving both negligence and causation — two key legal elements of any successful claim.
We’ll work with you to identify the full impact of the negligence, including:
Physical injury or complications (e.g., fertility loss, surgical pain, childbirth trauma);
Psychological and emotional effects such as anxiety, loss of confidence, or PTSD;
Financial losses like lost earnings, ongoing medical costs, and care needs.
This ensures your women’s health claim reflects the true extent of your suffering and any future challenges you may face.
Most clients choose to pursue their claim under a No Win, No Fee arrangement, meaning you won’t pay legal fees unless your claim is successful. We’ll explain all funding options in full before you commit, ensuring complete transparency.
We prepare a formal Letter of Claim setting out the details of your case, the alleged negligence, and the impact it has had on your life. This is sent to the healthcare provider or NHS Trust responsible, who must respond within a set timeframe (usually four months).
Where possible, we aim to achieve a fair settlement through negotiation or mediation, avoiding the need for court proceedings. However, if a reasonable offer isn’t made, our experienced solicitors are fully prepared to represent you in court.
