Birth Injury Claims: Seeking Compensation for Medical Negligence

If medical professionals fail in their duty of care during childbirth, you may be eligible to file birth injury claims to seek compensation for the harm caused.

Birth injuries can have lasting effects, both physically and emotionally, for families. At The Medical Negligence Lawyers, we specialise in helping families affected by these unfortunate situations.

Understanding Birth Injury Claims and Medical Negligence

Birth injury claims can arise when a child or the mother suffers an injury due to the negligence of healthcare providers during pregnancy, labour, or delivery. These injuries can range from temporary conditions to lifelong disabilities, and they can have a profound impact on both the child and the family.

Some common types of birth injuries include:

Cerebral Palsy: Often caused by oxygen deprivation during labour or delivery, cerebral palsy can result in severe physical and cognitive disabilities.

Erb’s Palsy: This injury involves damage to the brachial plexus nerves, often due to excessive force applied during delivery. It can lead to partial or complete paralysis of the arm.

Fractures and Head Injuries: Improper use of forceps or vacuum extractors can result in bone fractures or even traumatic brain injuries.

In many cases, these injuries could have been avoided if the medical team had followed proper procedures and provided adequate care. Whether it is failing to monitor the baby’s vital signs, delaying a necessary C-section, or misusing medical tools, any deviation from the standard of care could be grounds for a birth injury claim.

At The Medical Negligence Lawyers, we understand how difficult it is to process the emotional and financial aftermath of a birth injury. That is why we are here to help families seek justice and ensure they receive compensation that reflects the severity of the injury and the lifelong implications.

How to Start a Birth Injury Claim

If your family has been affected by a birth injury, it is important to understand how the process of making birth injury claims works. The first step is to determine whether the injury resulted from medical negligence. This can involve proving that the healthcare providers failed to uphold their duty of care during your pregnancy or delivery.
