Both accidents and clinical negligence can, tragically, cause damage to the reproductive systems of both men and women. If the accident that caused damage to the reproductive system was caused by someone else, or if you think you can prove it was as a result of clinical negligence, then you may be eligible to claim.
If you are involved in an accident that was caused by someone else which resulted in either permanent or temporary damage to any of the organs within your reproduction system (whether you are a man or a woman) then you could claim for personal injury compensation. As damage could lead to infertility, such claims are taken very seriously and the long-term effects of possible infertility are considered when calculating the compensation amount. Amounts awarded in compensation tend to be higher for women, but both men and women are eligible to claim for damage incurred to their reproductive system as a result of personal injury that was not their fault.
Damage to the reproductive system can also come from clinical negligence. You may have been wrongly diagnosed and that diagnosis could cause damage to your reproductive system. For instance, mis-diagnosed or missed ectopic pregnancies (where the foetus grows in the fallopian tube) can lead to infertility and even death.
Because of the possibility of infertility, someone who has suffered damage to their reproductive system, whether a man or a woman, can suffer severe psychological effects. If you or someone you know has been affected in this way, then contact Claim-Easy to discuss the case.
