Claims for a mother or baby Birthing Injury
Giving birth should be a joyous occasion. However, there can be complications and medical accidents that turn the experience of childbirth into an exhausting and harrowing ordeal. Of course a birth injury can occur through natural causes but can also be caused by clinical or medical negligence.
If your baby's birth went wrong, or you know about someone who has experienced the trauma of a child suffering a birth injury or accident, then please do read the following.
The specialised birth injury solicitors at Claims Justice can help you get all the help, support and compensation you need. To do this Claims Justice use qualified medical and legal experts to understand and present your compensation claim. Their Claims Advisers will ask you to talk then through what happened so that they can advise you how they can best assist you in your claim.
Even if you are in doubt whether the birth injury can give rise to a claim, please contact Claims Justice for a free consultation.
What is a 'Birth Injury'?
Birth injury claims fall in to two categories. The first is an injury to the baby before, during or just after birth and the second is an injury to the mother during the birth or pregnancy.
Injuries to baby can vary from the minor to the severe which can ultimately lead to death. For example brain damage due to insufficient oxygen, broken bones, or high bilirubin levels which can lead to a condition known as Cerebral Palsy, and Erb's Palsy.
Typical birthing injuries to the mother may include perineal tears, nerve damage, and sepsis.
Causes of Birth Injuries
There can be a range of reasons why birth injuries occur. Minor birth injuries such as bruises and swelling to the child or the mother are relatively common and will usually heal naturally and quite quickly.
And through the very nature of childbirth, injuries can occur despite nobody being at fault. This can especially happen when the baby is unusually large, or if the birth is premature or when the birthing presentation is abnormal such as a breech delivery.
However, sometimes doctors or other hospital staff can make mistakes. In such cases, it's important for parents to find out if their situation qualifies for compensation.
What to do following a Birthing Injury
In the immediate aftermath of a birthing injury, a compensation claim will understandably not be the first thing on a worried parent's mind. There will be so many other things to think about. But remember, the aim of the compensation monies is to make it easier to cope financially in the aftermath. So the sooner the claim gets underway the better.
