Our specialist team of solicitors work hard to achieve justice and recompense when you or those close to you have suffered serious injuries before or during birth or in the first few days and weeks of your child’s life.

If you would like to claim compensation for a birth injury to your baby, talk to one of our experts in a free initial consultation. Our birth injury lawyers will look into your case, talk with you about what you’ve been through and work out if you have a claim.

If you want to make a claim for an injury to a mother during childbirth please visit our page on maternal injury claims.

If you have significant concerns about the standard of care received we can help you find out what has happened and advise whether you have grounds to take legal action.

Birth injuries can happen in many ways such as a shortage of oxygen during delivery, infection, a difficult caesarean section, a complex vaginal delivery, jaundice etc. They can result in brain damage which can lead to a child being affected by cerebral palsy or global developmental delay; or Erb’s palsy as a result of shoulder dystocia, and in the process even injure you.
