Clinical Negligence
Even when things go well birth can be a traumatic experience for all concerned. When something goes wrong parents need to know whether it was genuinely unavoidable or the result of medical negligence.
Our dedicated team of expert clinical negligence lawyers will help you find out. The hospital will sometimes admit that the delivery was mishandled but say that it made no difference to the baby’s condition. We understand that if a baby is injured this can have a devastating effect not only on them but also their parents and other family members.
As the victims of birth injuries have to put up with the consequences for many years these claims often result in multi-million pound awards and settlements. Depending on the severity of the injuries the baby may be left requiring a series of operations, additional care from their parents and with significant limitations on the types of jobs they can do and the range of sports/leisure activities they can join in. We are experts at assembling the evidence in support of these claims with a view to getting our clients the life changing compensation they deserve for the life changing injuries they have suffered.
Other birth injury cases which we have handled successfully include:
- approximately £5 million recovered for a 7 year old girl in respect of a delay in delivery
- approximately £5 million recovered for a 37 year old man whose parents had originally been advised by others that he had no claim
- £237,500 damages for a child left with Erb’s Palsy
