Birth injury claims are highly complex, and where your child may need ongoing lifelong care, an experienced specialist in this area of law is advisable, to ensure the best possible outcome to give your child the best available care.
Birth Injury Claims – What is the process and how long does it take?
With a particular specialism in claims arising from pregnancy, birth and early years, the team at Blackwater Law, many of whom are parents themselves, understand the sensitivity of your case.
A birth injury claim may be made if either mother or baby suffered an injury as the result of poor care. Sometimes even the most common injuries can be the result of medical negligence or poor care, but only an expert in this area of law will be able to give you the correct advice and the best chance of making a successful claim.
Often the team at Blackwater Law represent families across the country, who have suffered life-changing injuries or illnesses. This can arise due to a failure to identify pregnancy complications such as pre-eclampsia or gestational diabetes, or a failure to provide additional testing, investigations or monitoring throughout the pregnancy or labour. This can also lead to midwife negligence claims.
Mothers and babies may also suffer traumatic birth injuries for example through the use of excessive force during a forceps/assisted delivery, or an inability to identify a post-partum haemorrhage. In other instances, babies may suffer life-changing injuries if they suffer from oxygen starvation during labour, leading to conditions such as cerebral palsy and Erb’s Palsy.
Birth injury compensation claims can occur for a number of reasons either during pregnancy, labour or after-birth and whilst these are rare, the impact can be devastating for families, during what is supposed to be the happiest moments of their lives. The advice and representation from a specialist birth injury lawyer can act as an important step in recovery – alleviating the financial pressure an injury may have caused, providing specialist medical care, if required, as well as helping resolve unanswered questions you may have.
If you believe your family suffered adversely as a result of medical negligence during pregnancy, labour or birth, contact Blackwater Law today for free specialist advice.
