How our ectopic pregnancy specialists can help

ectopic pregnancy frequently asked questions

An ectopic pregnancy is when a baby grows outside of the womb. In most cases of ectopic pregnancy, the foetus is found in the fallopian tube rather than the uterus. It may also be found in the abdomen, cervix or ovaries. The most common cause of ectopic pregnancy is pelvic inflammatory disease, which can lead to damage to the fallopian tubes. Endometriosis may also cause an ectopic pregnancy, or a mother may be at risk if she has had previous pelvic surgery. 
 
There are other scenarios that would give rise to a medical negligence ectopic pregnancy claim, such as:  
  • Surgery not carried out as promptly as it ought to have been 
  • Mistakes made during surgery to remove ectopic pregnancies 
  • Surgery being left incomplete 
  • Patients not being appropriately monitored following surgery 
It is the duty of medical professionals to make sure their patients receive the appropriate treatment in the best way possible. Unfortunately, negligence can occur and if you feel as though you’ve been subject to this, please don’t hesitate to contact our team. 
We may be able to help you claim compensation for any pain and suffering you have endured as a result of negligent treatment regarding your ectopic pregnancy. Any compensation awarded can also help towards loss of earnings if you have had to miss work, and other costs such as further treatment and travel. The amount of compensation you receive will depend solely on your individual circumstances. We will work closely with you to assess your situation, gather all the information we need, and will keep you updated throughout the course of your claim.
