Cochlear implant procedures and products can go wrong, often with a devastating effect on the patient's quality of life. If you've suffered as a result of defective cochlear implants, our lawyers can help you to claim the compensation you deserve.

Defective cochlear implants can cause a number of difficulties for patients. From painful sounds to the distress of having more surgery to get the implant replaced, there is no simple fix to a faulty cochlear implant - and in some cases, these problems are the responsibility of the implant manufacturer.

Our personal injury team is extremely well-positioned to help you with any cochlear implant compensation claims, as we have dealt with a significant number of similar claims against manufacturers across Europe. Our expert and caring solicitors will use that experience to help you get the best possible settlement and access to any rehabilitation services you may need.

If you have any questions about making a cochlear implant claim, call us on 0800 121 6567 or contact us online for a free consultation on your case.

Cochlear Implant Claims - More Information

- What's The Claims Process?
- To make a compensation claim for an injury or illness caused by a defective medical product, the first thing you need to do is get in touch with us for a free consultation. We'll discuss what's happened to you, advise you on whether or not we think you can claim, and work out whether you could benefit from a No Win No Fee* arrangement.
  
  If you do decide to make a claim with us, we'll usually follow the same three stages:
  If you have any questions about the claims process, please contact us today on 0800 121 6567.
- Can I Make A No Win No Fee* Claim?
- Many of our cases are funded with a No Win No Fee agreement. This means that there’s no financial risk* to you when making a compensation claim.
  
  At the start of your case, we’ll discuss funding options with you, advising you which we think is the most suitable. If you have legal expenses insurance (LEI) or are covered by a trade union policy, these may be best for you. Legal expenses insurance is included in many household insurance policies, so it’s always worth checking whether you’re already covered.
  
  If we think you’re best supported by a No Win No Fee agreement, we’ll explain the process clearly. This involves setting up an insurance policy that will protect you, at no cost to you. You’ll only have to pay anything when your claim is successful – your opponent will pay most of our fees.
  
  Please visit our No Win No Fee page for more information on how it works.
- What Is A Group Claim, And What Are The Benefits?
- When an entire line of medical products is defective, many people may suffer injuries as a result. In these situations, it is possible to make a group claim to ensure you and your fellow victims are fully and fairly compensated for your trauma.
  
  In some cases a group action may be appropriate way for the court to manage a number of similar claims together without having a trial of each individual claim. Group actions can help people to share legal expertise as well as the cost by working together, to try and maximise the chances of being fully and fairly compensated for your trauma.
  
  We have extensive experience in pursuing group actions relating to many different types of claim, including for defective products, drugs and medical devices.
  
  The expertise and results achieved for our clients means that Irwin Mitchell is the most highly ranked personal injury firm in the UK by two independent leading legal reviews.
  
  If you're unsure about whether making a group claim is right for you, it's best to seek some advice. Contact us and we'll be able to advise you on the options.
- How Much Can I Claim?
- How much compensation you receive for an injury caused by a defective medical product will depend on various factors related to your injury, its circumstances, and the support and rehabilitation you need.
  
  The amount of compensation you could claim will depend on many factors, including:
  - Current and future loss of earnings from being unable to return to work
  - Medical and travel expenses you've had to pay
  - Your care and support needs – both now and in the future
  - Whether you need modifications to your home
  - Whether you need mobility aids or specialist equipment
  - Your pain and suffering, and the nature of any ongoing problems you have
  For more information, call us on 0800 121 6567 and we'll be happy to discuss your options in a free initial consultation.
