Birth Injury Claims
The birth of your child should be one of the happiest days of your life, after months of preparation welcoming your happy and healthy child into the world is usually a cause for celebration.
Occasionally problems can arise before or during childbirth that can affect the health of your baby. At Duncan Gibbins Solicitors we understand that experiencing complications during childbirth can be a distressing time for new parents. However, if you or your new born child has suffered injury or illness as a result of medical negligence during childbirth then you should be entitled to make a claim for compensation.
We are able to deal with birth injury claims for compensation with discretion and sensitivity at all times ensuring that you and your family receive the correct support and legal advice during a traumatic time.
Our team at Duncan Gibbins Solicitors are experienced in pursuing a wide range of claims for compensation in respect of injuries sustained by the mother during childbirth, including scarring, tears, infections, post-traumatic stress disorders, pelvic fractures and caesarean complications.
We have claimed compensation for the parents of a child where a foetus abnormality remained undetected at the 20 week scan stage. As a result the baby was born with severe abnormalities which required lifelong care and support.
If your child develops learning difficulties, injuries, or an illness that you believe may have been caused by a medical mistake, you may be able to make a claim for compensation many years after the birth. Injury or illness that occurred during childbirth may only become apparent many years later, which is why you are legally entitled to pursue a claim for compensation up until your child’s 21st birthday.
If the unthinkable happens and your child suffers a serious injury or illness as a result of medical negligence at childbirth we will be able to assist you in all aspects of a birth injury claims for compensation.
