Ectopic Pregnancy Claims
An ectopic pregnancy occurs when an embryo embeds outside the womb, usually in a fallopian tube.
Very sadly such a pregnancy cannot progress and if this is not recognised and action taken then the consequences can be extremely serious and even fatal. Left undetected, an ectopic pregnancy in a fallopian tube will cause this to rupture.
Typical signs of ectopic pregnancy include shoulder pain and bleeding or spotting. In some instances, an ectopic pregnancy is missed by a medical professional such as a midwife, GP or sonographer or incorrect advice is given. In these circumstances, where an injury occurs, there may be a claim for medical negligence. Errors can also occur during surgery to remove an ectopic pregnancy.

Can my attorney just do what they like with my money?
You can only make an LPA while you have mental capacity so it is a good idea to think about it early, even if you are young and healthy. The chances are that you won’t need it for a long time and maybe not at all. However, if something unexpected happens, for example if you are in an accident, then having an LPA in place will be one less thing for your loved ones to worry about.
If you make an LPA now and change your mind about who your attorneys should be, then you can always make a new one later.
