Facing the repercussions of a failed sterilisation, such as a vasectomy, can be emotionally and financially taxing. In Ireland, it’s crucial to understand your legal rights if you believe medical negligence or surgical errors occurred during your procedure. At HOMS Assist, our seasoned solicitors in Dublin, Limerick, and Cork specialise in medical negligence claims, including those arising from failed sterilisation procedures.
Why Consider a Claim for Failed Sterlisation?
Failed sterilisation claims often arise when there are medical oversights or errors, leading to unintended consequences like pregnancies or health issues. These claims can help recover costs associated with additional medical treatments, emotional distress, and potential loss of earnings. Our team provides expert guidance to help you pursue justice and compensation effectively.
Key Areas of Concern in Sterilisation Procedures
Factors that can contribute to failed sterilisation claims include:
- Insufficient information about the risks involved
- Surgical mistakes during vasectomy procedures
- Lack of adequate post-operative advice
Understanding these aspects is vital in establishing the foundation for a claim. For more detailed information on medical negligence, visit our dedicated page.

- Lost income due to recovery time
- Emotional distress resulting from the negligence
In rare cases, compensation may be claimed for the costs of raising a child.
