Birth Injury Claims

If you or your child has suffered birth injuries, you may be able to put up a claim for compensation.  Giving birth to a child is a happy time for the parents as well as for all those associated with the family.  Although more than 700,000 births are successful every year in the UK, there are occasions when complications can arise and result in an injury to the mother or the baby.  Any injuries suffered during labour or delivery can make the childbirth experience terrible.  Some of the injuries caused during birth are unavoidable, but some injuries are caused due to hospital negligence and poor hospital practices.  There are many different types of avoidable birth injuries that can be suffered by the mother and the baby.  If you or a member of your family has suffered injuries as a result of medical negligence during a birth, you may be eligible to make birth injury claims.

There are a number of birth injuries that mothers may sustain due to medical negligence.  Some of the common birth injuries affecting mothers include excessive perineal tearing, anal fissures, infections and septicaemia.

Injuries to the babies are also common at the time of labour and childbirth.  Some of the common birth injuries affecting babies include erb’s palsy, brachial palsy, cerebral palsy, umbilical cord complications, fractures, eye infections, brain damage, facial paralysis, skin irritations, neonatal hypoglaecemia, hip dysplasia and scarring.
