Birth Injury Claims

Our medical negligence solicitors pursue birth injury compensation claims on behalf of children and mothers who have suffered injury during pregnancy or childbirth as a result of medical negligence.

When do I have a Birth Injury Claim?

Birth injuries can occur to the mother or the baby.  Types of birth injury claims that we deal with include Hypoxic Brain injuries, Cerebral Palsy, Erbs Palsy, Still Birth, Vaginal Tears and surgical errors during the course assisted deliveries.

If a medical professional has not performed at the standard you would have expected, and this has resulted in a birth injury to a mother or child, you may be entitled to make a claim for compensation.

Public funding for these types of claim is still available and will continue to be available in limited circumstances when the Legal Aid rules are changed in April 2013
