PIP Implant Solicitors

When breast implant surgery goes wrong it can cause untold misery and distress to the patient and their families, if you have been affected, you should speak to our PIP Implant Solicitors.

A ruling by the High Court in Cardiff in March, 2012 ordered a Group Litigation Order to be made, effectively allowing victims of the controversial PIP Implant scandal to have their cases heard by a judge.

PIP as it is commonly known stands for Poly Implant Prothese and it is thought that thousands of women in the UK could be affected by the product manufactured by the French company.

95% of the implants are reported to have been fitted by private clinics, with the NHS being responsible for just 5%.

Implants manufactured by PIP were banned after it was discovered they contained industrial grade silicone which is normally used to stuff mattresses and tests have proven that PIP has an unusually high rupture rate.

If an implant ruptures and silicone gel leaks into the body this can cause scar tissue to form and may change the shape and feel of the breast, potentially causing irritation.

Our PIP Implant Solicitors want to help you get the compensation you deserve.

Although health officials in France and other countries have ordered all PIP implants to be removed, in this country the advice is removal only in the case of complications.

With no proven links to Cancer, only patients who had their PIP implants fitted on the NHS are entitled to have them removed without charge.  Private patients have to pay.

As so many women are worried how they may suffer in the future from the industrial silicone entering their bodies, our national lawyers can help you get justice.
