About This Settlement
If you have experienced a perineal tear that was mismanaged or misdiagnosed, you could be entitled to compensation
The area between the vagina and the anus is called the perineum. A perineal tear can occur naturally during childbirth, for example if the baby is large or the vagina doesn’t stretch easily. In some instances, a doctor or midwife may need to cut this area to allow the baby to come through easier (known as an episiotomy). Sometimes the episiotomy can extend and become a perineal tear.
Perineal tears are not always predictable or preventable, but certain factors can help highlight the risk. While experiencing tearing during childbirth isn’t always cause for a legal claim, if a doctor or a midwife missed, misdiagnosed and/or mistreated your injury you might have the grounds for a claim. In some instances, the tear could have been prevented.
Negligence from your doctor or midwife can result in a perineal tear and/or problems after childbirth.
