Can I make a M6-C Artificial Cervical Disc claim?

If you received an M6-C Artificial Cervical Disc and have experienced complications, you may be wondering whether what happened was just bad luck or whether someone else may be responsible. You may have a claim if you’ve experienced problems such as bone loss, sometimes called osteolysis, or implant loosening or failure. Other symptoms could be worsening pain or nerve problems.

You may have a claim if the M6-C did not meet the standard of safety you were entitled to expect under the Consumer Protection Act 1987. This could include a fault in the design, a manufacturing defect, or a failure to properly warn about a known risk. Every case is different, and experiencing a complication does not automatically mean someone was negligent. Our specialist product liability solicitors can investigate what happened and explain whether you may have grounds to claim.

Even if you’re unsure what caused your injury or it’s been some time since your surgery, it may still be worth seeking legal advice. Speak to our specialist team today for a confidential, no-obligation assessment of your circumstances.

Example of a M6-C Artificial Cervical Disc claim

If someone received an M6-C disc and later developed significant bone loss around the implant or neurological problems, this could require further treatment or revision surgery. If an investigation finds that the injury was caused by a failure to properly identify, warn about or manage a relevant risk, they may have grounds for a claim.

Recovering lost income and covering future care

Complications following M6-C Artificial Cervical Disc replacement surgery can affect your health and your day-to-day life, including your ability to work. We understand that this can create financial pressure at a difficult time.

Compensation may help cover the cost of medical treatment and rehabilitation. It can also help with psychological support if your injury has affected your emotional wellbeing. If you need care or assistance at home, these costs may also be considered.

You may have lost income because of your injury. Compensation can help recover earnings you have already lost and account for the impact on your future ability to work. If you need to adapt your home or use mobility aids, the costs of these may also form part of your claim.

The amount of compensation depends on your individual circumstances. The severity of your injury and its long-term impact will be important factors. Your age, employment and future care needs may also affect the value of your claim.

Understanding the potential value

M6-C claims may form part of a wider group action, but we treat every case individually. We’ll look carefully at how the implant and any complications have affected your health, work and day-to-day life, and give you a clear, honest view of what your claim may be worth. We’ll consider the full impact of your circumstances rather than applying a one-size-fits-all figure. As this is an ongoing area of investigation, we’ll keep you informed as the legal and medical position develops.

Understanding interim payments

In serious cases, it may be possible to secure interim payments during the claim and before a final settlement is reached. Interim payments can help cover any immediate care costs that might help to improve your quality of life and aid your recovery. This can cover things like medical treatment or loss of income while your claim is ongoing.

What is the M6-C Artificial Cervical Disc?

The M6-C Artificial Cervical Disc is a spinal implant made by Orthofix. It is used during cervical disc replacement surgery to replace a damaged disc in the neck. The aim is to relieve pain while preserving movement between the vertebrae, rather than performing spinal fusion.

What complications have been linked to the M6-C Artificial Cervical Disc?

Patients with an M6-C implant have reported complications including osteolysis, which is bone loss around the implant. Other reported problems include implant loosening or failure and neurological symptoms. In some cases, patients may need further investigation or revision surgery.

You may be eligible to make a claim if you received an M6-C Artificial Cervical Disc and subsequently experienced complications that have had a significant impact on your health or daily life. The circumstances of every case are different, so it’s important to speak to a specialist if you’re unsure whether you have a claim.

What if I’m not sure the M6-C caused my complications?

You don’t need to know exactly what caused your complications before contacting us. We can review your medical history and investigate whether there may be a link between your M6-C implant and the problems you have experienced. We’ll explain what the evidence means for your potential claim and give you an honest view of your options.

What evidence will I need for an M6-C claim?

Your medical records can help establish when you received your M6-C Artificial Cervical Disc and what complications you have experienced.

We can help you understand what evidence is needed and how it can be obtained.

Are there time limits for making an M6-C Artificial Cervical Disc claim?

Time limits can apply to claims involving defective medical devices, so it’s important to seek legal advice as soon as you can. The rules can be complex and the relevant date may depend on your individual circumstances. We can assess your situation and advise you on whether a claim can still be brought.

Is this part of a group action?

M6-C Artificial Cervical Disc claims may involve a number of patients who have experienced similar complications.
