Midwife negligence claims can be made for a variety of reasons, but if you or your child have suffered unnecessarily as a result of such negligence you can make a claim.
Making a Midwife Negligence Claim
Any situation where the actions or inactions of your midwife during pregnancy, labour or post-birth, results in unnecessary harm or distress to mother and baby may give you the grounds to claim for midwife negligence compensation.
Examples of Midwife Negligence
- Where you present to your midwife symptoms or abnormalities which are indicative of a potential problem with your pregnancy, but the appropriate tests or examinations are not carried out to investigate further.
- Where the results of various health tests are not properly analysed, recorded or reported – leading to a misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of pregnancy complications.
- Where appropriate action is not taken or the correct course of treatment is not administered following the diagnosis of pregnancy complications.
- When your midwife fails to take into account pre-existing conditions or a family history of certain ailments that could impact your pregnancy.
Remember, this is not an exhaustive list – there may be other medical scenarios that can lead to you suing a midwife. If you are unsure about whether your circumstances provide legal grounds for claiming compensation, you should seek expert advice from a solicitor at your earliest convenience.
