Women’s health
Women’s health concerns are too often overlooked, downplayed, or brushed aside. In the government’s own call for evidence ahead of the Women’s Health Strategy, 84% of respondents said there had been times when healthcare professionals just didn’t listen properly.
When symptoms are dismissed, injuries missed, or conditions left to worsen, the effects can be devastating. We’re here to find out what went wrong, answer your questions, hold people to account, and help you move forward.

We’re here when birth doesn’t go to plan
Maternal injury
When childbirth goes wrong, the experience can go beyond physical pain. While injuries such as tearing or damage to the bladder, bowel, and pelvic area can have long-lasting effects on the body, the emotional aspect of traumatic births can be just as devastating. Birth trauma often brings anxiety, flashbacks, and depression that persist even after your wounds have healed. At CL Medilaw, we know that a claim should recognise both aspects, so you can focus on your loved ones and yourself.
Listening to you
Women’s health claims we can help with
An operation, a misread smear test or a delayed cancer diagnosis may have left you worse off, or affected your fertility. The physical injury is often only part of it, and the impact on your mental health can be just as profound. Our solicitors support women through both, with group action experience in women’s health.
Whatever brought you here, you’re not alone. We’re here to help you understand whether your care met the standard it should have, and if it didn’t, to help you get the answers and support you need to move forward.
Support for today, and tomorrow
Life after injury
Recovering from an injury is hard for anyone, but women often face extra hurdles. Hormones affect how muscles heal, anatomy makes some injuries more likely, and women are more prone to anxiety or a loss of identity after treatment. Their pain is sometimes downplayed, and research on women’s recovery is limited.
Many of the people we have supported live with permanent, life-changing injuries, such as incontinence and an inability to have sexual intercourse. For others, surgery or cancer treatment has brought on early menopause or concerns about fertility, and some are adjusting to life after a spinal injury or cancer diagnosis. Whatever your experience, we can help you secure the support you need to move forward.
