Compensation for Income Losses Due to Negligent 3rd Degree Tear
If you have lost significant income because of your 3rd degree tear symptoms, it may be possible to make a claim for compensation for those losses, as well as those which you may be likely to suffer in the future.
3rd degree tear symptoms and impact
If you know that you have an unrepaired 3rd degree tear, it may be appropriate to make a claim for the financial consequences. If you are experiencing debilitating bowel symptoms after the birth of your baby, it may be that you have an undiagnosed tear.
Both scenarios may justify making a claim for compensation if your symptoms are compromising your ability to work and earn a living.
Symptoms of wind and faecal incontinence can be pretty devastating. For many women who suffer these injuries, without repair, they can severely undermine confidence and impact quality of life.
They can also, of course, affect the type of work you can do and, as a result, the amount you can earn. This may be due to the inappropriate nature of your work with the symptoms you are suffering or it may be to do with the practical difficulties of managing your symptoms.
When to claim compensation
If a woman suffers a severe birth tear during the delivery of her baby which is not diagnosed and repaired, the relevant medical professionals may be regarded as having been negligent.
If the woman suffers significant symptoms, associated difficulties and financial losses as a result of this negligence, it may be appropriate to make a claim for compensation.
Speak to a specialist solicitor as soon as possible. Although these symptoms can be difficult to talk about, an experienced medical negligence solicitor will have sufficient familiarity with these claims to understand your situation, to listen sympathetically and to talk you through the best way forward.
A successful claim will address the financial losses which you have suffered including lost income both past and future. It will also take account of any other costs which you are suffering due to the symptoms caused by negligent maternity care.
