Clinical Negligence
Failed Sterilisation


When a sterilisation operation has not been successful it can often be too late to deal with the consequences of an unwanted pregnancy. If a birth occurs which would not have happened had the original sterilisation procedure been successful, it is known as a "wrongful birth".

Both men and women can claim compensation if the procedure or advice was negligent and resulted in a wrongful birth. The most common claims are as a result of the negligent advice given regarding contraception after the sterilisation procedure.

We understand that this can be a traumatic and stressful claim and we have a great deal of experience in this area.
