Birthing injuries

Medical negligence claims

Medical negligence compensation claims related to birth injuries require a tailored approach by experienced lawyers. With a reputation highly regarded by clients and the judicial system, Taylor & Scott Medical Negligence Lawyers are ideally positioned to maximise compensation payments for the benefit of you and your loved ones.

Complications during labour and childbirth can cause difficulties for both mother and child, in some cases resulting in injuries that warrant medical negligence compensation. Birthing injuries include oxygen deprivation and trauma resulting from incorrect medical procedures. Understanding your medical negligence compensation rights is entirely possible with the expertise of Taylor & Scott Lawyers, boasting compensation winning cases since 1905.

 

What are birthing injuries?

Birthing injuries are far more common than most people realise. Numerous injuries result from medical negligence in hospital environments, including neonatal injuries shortly after birth and failure to correctly diagnose obstetric cholestasis that results in stillbirth. Injuries can also be caused by use of excessive force during delivery, delay in performing a caesarean section and many other reasons. Healthcare professionals and hospitals deemed negligent in caring for patients are subject to legal action for compensation. Examples of medical negligence causing birthing injuries include:

• Maternal or foetal distress, bleeding, and lack of oxygen
• A compressed or trapped umbilical cord
• Caesarean section delay
• Improper use of forceps or vacuum extractor
• Failure to properly address infections
• Failure to address maternal health complications

Taylor & Scott Medical Negligence Lawyers work with the best medical specialists to establish a compensation claim case on your behalf. A relatively straight forward claim can become complex and confusing when it is disputed by opposing legal teams, making the advice and assistance of Taylor & Scott Compensation Lawyers the best way to move your case toward a successful conclusion.

How do I know if I can make a claim for a birthing injury?

If you believe a birthing injury to mother or child was caused by medical negligence, you may have a genuine compensation case. Pregnancy, childbirth and motherhood should be a joyous time for bonding rather than a time of distress and despair, so Taylor & Scott Lawyers are on hand to help get your life back on track. We even offer our ‘no-win, no-fee’ guarantee in some cases, allowing you to avoid financial strain during trying times. A medical negligence birthing injury claim will need to prove negligence in ways that include:

• Medical practitioner failure in providing a reasonable level of care associated with their occupation.
• The injury would not have happened with a similarly trained professional under the same circumstances.

Medical negligence or malpractice happens far too often, with claims usually made against a hospital or medical centre body rather than the at-fault individual practitioner.
