Birth injury compensation claims
Birth injuries fall into a specialist area of medical negligence law and require experienced solicitors to deal with all aspects of these, very complex and demanding cases. Our solicitors have helped many parents obtain medical negligence damages, which have enabled them to meet the needs of their children who have been injured at or during birth as well as helping mothers who have suffered whilst being pregnant or giving birth.
Types of birth injury cases
We investigate all types of birth injuries caused to children and their mothers during birth. Examples of these include:
Birth Injury - Children:
Birth Injury - Mothers:
We also investigate:
The Claimant, who was pregnant, was admitted into hospital and had labour induced. She started to bleed from her vagina during labour. This continued and worsened after delivery of the placenta – she suffered a major post partum haemorrhage with a massive blood loss of 3 litres. In spite of having a major PPH and losing massive amounts of blood after delivery, the Claimant’s carers were unaware of the clinical significance in that attempts to correct it were inadequate. The failure to infuse the Claimant correctly resulted in hypo-volaemic shock, DIC and organ failure and her death.
The Claimant’s estate recovered damages of £275,000.
