Injury during a caesarean section
During a caesarean section, the internal organs are at risk of injury. The bladder is especially vulnerable because it lies in front of the uterus and must be clamped downwards for the duration of the procedure. Even if all the necessary precautions are taken, it is possible that an internal organ such as the bladder or bowel suffers harm. If so, the injury must be recognised and repaired before the close of the operation.
Failure to repair an injury
If the surgical team fail to repair an injury sustained during a C-section, complications will ensue. The function of the damaged organ will be reduced and subsequent problems will follow. For example, if the bowel has been perforated, waste products will leak into the abdominal cavity, resulting in a serious infection called peritonitis. If the bladder has been harmed, urine will leak the abdominal cavity, causing a septic response.
An urgent operation will be needed to repair the damage. However, there may be ongoing complications such as the need for a catheter or colostomy bag. The error will also mean a mother must be separated from her new born baby while treatment is undertaken, limiting the bonding time between them.
C-section medical negligence
If medical professionals damage an internal organ during a C-section but the injury is not initially treated, there may be grounds for a medical negligence claim.
To find out more, you need to speak to a solicitor who specialises in this area of the law. A solicitor will be able to listen to the details of your care before suggesting whether or not there is a case of negligence. If so, your solicitor will begin a medical negligence claim on your behalf, working to get the compensation you legally deserve.
Medical negligence compensation is intended to reflect the physical and emotional pain and suffering you have experienced. It is also intended to put you back in the financial position you were in before the negligence occurred. Therefore if you or your partner has lost any money because of the medical error, you will be able to recover this cost.

"It is to you, (Alicia), that we must give the most heartfelt thanks. You have been everything that we could wish for in a solicitor. Empathetic, supportive and with the staying power of a marathon runner, involved with us personally, yet thoroughly professional and surefooted."
Mr. & Mrs. B.
"Many thanks to you, (Lucy). I have 100% faith in you. Throughout this you have been helpful, down to earth and supportive and have felt like a friend during the entire process. I would unreservedly recommend you, or use your services again, if the need should arise in the future."
Ms J.
"Alicia has been wonderful throughout the whole process. Her kindness and professionalism has helped me obtain a favourable outcome and her personal support has been invaluable from start to finish.
I have been updated at every stage and Alicia has always been available to answer my calls or emails.
I am so pleased I decided to use Glynns Solicitors as opposed to one of the larger advertised injury claims lawyers as I am more than confident I would not have received such a personal service by a caring and understanding solicitor.
My sincere thanks to Chris Bird for allocating my case to Alicia, I couldn't have had a better service."
Miss H.
"Let me thank you and Glynns for taking up my case and getting me this compensation. Please could you pass on my thanks to everyone concerned. We are extremely grateful."
