Your health is important and you should be able to trust your healthcare provider to deliver a high standard of medical care during all surgeries. If you’ve been the victim of medical negligence relating to the PIP scandal, you have a right to claim for compensation.

Implants made by the French firm Poly Implant Prosthese (PIP) with industrial-grade silicone not intended for medical use were used in around 300,000 breast implants, affecting women across Europe.

In the UK, more than 40,000 women are thought to have had PIP implants filled with substandard silicone fitted. Although the official investigations into the scandal have concluded the implants are not toxic, they are more likely to rupture.
The majority of the PIP implants claims disputes centre on whose responsibility it is to remove and replace the substandard breast implants. Women in the UK who had their breast implants fitted on the NHS can have them removed and replaced for free.

However, approximately 95% of the UK women affected by the PIP scandal were treated privately and many of these private clinics are now refusing to acknowledge personal injury claims.
In Wales, the NHS is also offering to remove and replace PIP implants on private patients for free, and in England and Scotland to remove the implants but not replace them for free.

Get The PIP Implants Compensation You Deserve

The PIP implants were fitted not only for cosmetic purposes but were also used in medical procedures including for cancer patients who had undergone a mastectomy.

Whether you had a PIP implant for personal or medical reasons, the high levels of anxiety caused by the scandal and the unnecessary stress of having to have further surgery may mean you have a right to make a medical negligence claim for PIP implants compensation.
