Failed Sterilisation Claim

» BACK TO Failed Vasectomy/Sterilisation Section

We acted for a client called Tilly who, having decided with her husband that they did not want to add any further to their family, underwent a sterilisation operation. Unfortunately, 8 months after the sterilisation operation Tilly found out that she was pregnant and that clearly the sterilisation operation had failed.

She subsequently underwent a re-sterilisation where the treating surgeon noted that there was no evidence of previous sterilisation to one of her fallopian tubes. A claim was commenced against the NHS Trust responsible for the hospital where the original and failed sterilisation had taken place and whilst no formal admission of liability was made Tilly was awarded substantial compensation within 10 months of notification of the failed sterilisation claim being sent to the hospital.
