When can you claim for a fourth degree tear?

Medical negligence is when the level of medical care falls below a reasonable standard, causing a patient to suffer an injury. The medical management of a fourth degree tear might be considered negligent if:-

• A fourth degree tear was not diagnosed shortly after delivery because a routine examination (including a digital rectal examination) was not carried out.
• A routine examination was performed, but the medical practitioner failed to identify any damage whatsoever.
• A fourth degree tear was mistaken for a more minor injury – such as a first or second degree tear – during the post-partum examination.
• A fourth degree tear was diagnosed and surgically repaired, but the repair was of a poor quality.
