What types of accidents qualify for birth injury claims?

All doctors, nurses and midwifery professionals involved in your antenatal care and delivery of your baby have a legal duty to support the health and wellbeing of you both. If your baby has suffered a birth injury or been hurt at any stage of your pregnancy as a result of clinical
negligence, we could help you make a claim for malpractice including:

• Mistakes and lack of care during delivery causing oxygen deprivation that resulted in brain injuries or fatal injury.
• Incorrect use of birth instruments such as forceps causing nerve damage and spinal cord injuries.
• Failure to monitor, detect, and treat maternal infections, to plan and carry out an emergency C-section or to identify and treat a prolapsed umbilical cord.

You could be paid compensation if you or your baby suffered:

A birth injury within the last 3 years that required medical attention for:

• Cerebral palsy
