We specialise in birth injury clinical negligence claims, representing families nationwide.
Birth injuries can have life-altering consequences for both the child and the parents. When these injuries result from clinical negligence, families are entitled to seek compensation to help them manage the future challenges they will face.
Types of Birth Injury Claims
Clinical negligence in childbirth can occur as a result of an error in medical judgment, inadequate care, or a failure to act promptly during critical moments.
Examples of the cases we are commonly consulted about include:
- Cerebral Palsy: Often caused by oxygen deprivation during delivery.
- Shoulder Dystocia: Injuries resulting from complications during the baby’s delivery.
- Maternal Injuries: Including severe tears or complications arising from improper medical care.
- Mismanagement of Pre-eclampsia: Failure to diagnose pre-eclampsia can lead to a stroke, organ failure, and even death
- Caesarean section injuries: Often arising from surgical mistakes resulting in nerve damage, infections and scarring.
A successful claim will provide financial support for medical treatment, rehabilitation, and other needs arising from the injuries, along with compensation for financial losses that have been incurred, such as lost earnings..
