Perineal Tear Compensation Claims

Perineal & Vaginal Tear Compensation Claims | No Win No Fee – Claims 24 Hours

Childbirth should be one of life’s happiest moments. But for some mothers, it leaves behind lasting trauma when medical staff make mistakes. If you suffered a perineal or vaginal tear and it wasn’t properly treated, you may have a legal right to compensation. At Claims 24 Hours, we specialise in perineal tear compensation claims—providing no win no fee support 24/7, because no woman should suffer in silence.

Different Degrees of Perineal & Vaginal Tears

During childbirth, tears are common. But negligence happens when they are misdiagnosed, poorly repaired, or not treated quickly.

First-degree tear – affects only the skin; heals naturally.
Second-degree tear – affects skin and perineal muscle; usually requires stitches.
Third-degree tear – involves the anal sphincter; risk of bowel problems.
Fourth-degree tear – extends into rectal lining; often life-changing.

Even second-degree tears, if mismanaged, can cause long-term discomfort and be grounds for a claim.

When Can You Make a Compensation Claim?

You may be entitled to claim if:

Your tear was not diagnosed or diagnosed too late.
The repair was poorly carried out, leading to infections or complications.
You were discharged without proper aftercare or follow-up checks.
The hospital staff failed to follow standard guidelines.
Negligence caused incontinence, pain, or psychological harm.

Both NHS and private hospitals owe you a duty of care. If they fail, you deserve justice.

Common Signs of Medical Negligence in Perineal Tear Cases

Difficulty controlling bowel movements.
Severe or ongoing perineal pain.
Infections after stitches.
Pain during intercourse (dyspareunia).
Embarrassment and loss of confidence.
Lack of follow-up examinations post-delivery.

If you have experienced any of these, it may indicate negligence.

Emotional & Physical Impact

The pain of a poorly treated perineal tear isn’t just physical. Many mothers also suffer:

Emotional trauma: depression, PTSD, or feelings of shame.
Relationship strain: difficulty with intimacy due to pain or fear.
Work challenges: inability to sit for long periods or return to physical jobs.
Social withdrawal: embarrassment from incontinence can affect everyday life.

Compensation is not just about money—it’s about restoring dignity and support for recovery.

How Much Compensation Can You Claim?

Compensation depends on injury severity, recovery time, and financial losses.

Typical ranges include:

Mild tears with ongoing pain: £15,000 – £40,000
Moderate third-degree tear: £60,000 – £120,000
Severe fourth-degree tear with lasting incontinence: £200,000 – £350,000+
Life-changing injuries requiring colostomy bag: £350,000+

These figures include general damages (pain and suffering) and special damages (loss of income, medical costs, counselling, rehabilitation, and future care).

Real Case Examples

£107,500 – for negligent repair causing incontinence.
£200,000 – for delayed diagnosis of a third-degree tear.
£300,000+ – for fourth-degree tear with severe complications.
£350,000 – for missed diagnosis leading to permanent colostomy.
