Birth Injuries
Pregnancy and childbirth is one of the most natural, exciting and joyful experiences for any parent and thousands of healthy babies are born in the UK every day. Skilled obstetric staff are trained to cope with complications, avoiding and minimising the risks associated with giving birth, but appropriate care is not always given as quickly or as competently as it should. Sometimes things do go wrong which can lead to devastating consequences for the baby, the mother and the rest of the family.
We have expertise and experience in all aspects of birth injury and ante natal cases:
- Mistakes made during ante-natal care
- Failure to detect serious abnormalities of the baby despite scanning
- Failure to diagnose and treat pre-eclampsia
- Mistakes made during labour and delivery
- Lack of oxygen to the baby's brain - "cerebral palsy"
- Failure to prevent injuries to the mother or the baby
- Mis-use of forceps or other instruments
- Injury to the mother
Cerebral palsy claims are extremely complex. We have the level of specialism and experience to ensure that the best possible financial settlement is reached to provide highly specialised, 24 hour, lifelong care.
If you believe that you or your baby have suffered an injury during pregnancy or childbirth, we can help you to make a claim for compensation and also put you in touch with organisations that can help and support you.
