Female Infertility
The amount of compensation someone may receive for infertility depends on a number of things. One is whether or not the affected woman already has children and whether she intended on having any more. Scarring is another issue as is depression and psychological scarring. Also whether a foetus was aborted will be taken into consideration.
Infertility which was caused by an injury or disease and the person suffered severe depression and anxiety pain or scarring the amount would be in the region of £67,200 to £98,500.
Infertility without any medical complication and the injured persona already has children the amount would be in the region of £10,500 to £21,350.
The higher end of the scale is appropriate in cases where there is significant psychological damage. Infertility where the injured person was older and would not have had children in any event, the amount would be in the region of £3,800 to £7,425.
For failed sterilisation leading to an unwanted pregnancy where there is no serious psychological effect or depression the amount would be in the region of £5,850.
