Compensation Calculation Examples for Female Reproductive System Injury Claims

Compensation calculations for both fertility and infertility, plus injury to the female reproductive system, include:

Failed Sterilisation Compensation

Claims for a failed sterilization leading to an unwanted pregnancy will typically lead to a compensation payout of approximately £12,500.

Delay in Diagnosing Ectopic Pregnancy

Delay in diagnosing an ectopic pregnancy causing pain and suffering. Bleeding may be present (requiring a blood transfusion), psychological reaction may be significant, removal of a fallopian tube may be necessary.

Should both tubes be removed then infertility would be caused and higher compensation amounts set out later would apply.
