    What are Vaginal Perineal Tears?

    Vaginal Perineal Tears are tears that can occur between the vagina and the rectum and typically occurs in the process of childbirth when the baby’s head passes through the mother’s birth canal. It can also occur due to using instruments to assist in the delivery of the baby. Such tears can cause severe pain for the mother, and delivery affects the healing process and the early stages of bonding between the mother and child.

    Tears are a common injury when giving birth naturally; however, sometimes, vaginal perineal tears are sustained as a result of negligence. If you have experienced sub-standard medical care and suffered negative consequences; as a result, our compassionate and highly experienced Vaginal Perineal Tears claims solicitor team can help you pursue a compensation claim.

    The claim process

    1. Consult our medical negligence solicitor

    It is advisable for you to speak to an experienced team of Medical Negligence Solicitors as soon as possible if you believe that you were not provided with an adequate or appropriate level of medical care, which resulted in you sustaining an injury or illness.

    2. We obtain your medical records

    After the consultation with your medical negligence solicitor, he/she will request access to your medical records and engage an independent medical expert to assess your records. The purpose of engaging an independent expert is to establish whether there was any negligence on the part of the medical professional.

    3. The medical negligence litigation process

    Where the independent medical expert is of the professional opinion that medical negligence did occur, upon your instructions, your solicitor will commence the process of issuing legal proceedings in Court against the medical professional and/or hospital.

    Statute of Limitations

    The legal time limit to make a medical negligence claim is two years from the date of injury or date of knowledge that the injury or illness resulted from medical negligence. For children/minors, the time limit expires two years after their 18th birthday. You may contact a solicitor to discuss your case to advise of the Statute of Limitations applicable to your case.
