Placental Abruption Claims

Make a placental abruption claim

We place our trust in medical professionals, however, in some instances, medical negligence can occur, with devastating consequences.

Firstly, those that present with an increased risk of placental abruption, such as those with foetal growth restriction, a previous placental abruption or where trauma has happened during pregnancy should be offered additional monitoring to identify whether a placental abruption has occurred.

In instances where a medical professional fails to act on known risk factors and where a subsequent placental abruption occurs, it may result in a claim for placental abruption.

Additionally, where it is known that there is placental abruption, it is vital to provide the correct medical care. This care and treatment depend on a number of factors and the most appropriate decision should be shared with you.

A claim for placental abruption compensation may also arise if the baby is born in a poor condition, for example, if there is a potential brain injury as a result of oxygen starvation caused by the abruption.
