Perineal tear injuries

Perineal tear injury claims

If you have experienced a perineal tear that was mismanaged or misdiagnosed, you could be entitled to compensation

Get help today

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.

Reasons for making a perineal tear claim

Negligence from your doctor or midwife can result in a perineal tear and/or problems after childbirth.

Examples of poor care can include:

Not considering/ appreciating the risk factors for perineal tears and failing to advise the patient properly before giving birth

Failing to take steps before or during childbirth to minimise the risk of tearing

Failing to properly diagnose and repair a tear immediately after the delivery

Delay in diagnosing a tear

Failing to act on signs of infection and/ or abnormal or unusual symptoms
