Birth and pregnancy related injuries
- If an error in medical treatment during pregnancy or birth has resulted in injury to yourself or your child, you may be eligible for compensation.
- Working alongside renowned medical experts we ensure the medical evidence used in your case is of the highest standard.
- Our specialist birth injury solicitors can ensure you receive the financial support you are entitled to and need.
Pregnancy and giving birth is an event that is both joyous and memorable. Sadly, however, errors in medical treatment and care can result in an adverse outcome for both mother or baby. Mistakes made during pregnancy, labour or shortly after birth can lead to babies being deprived of oxygen. This may result in brain injury, such as cerebral palsy, a neurological condition which affects the brain and nervous system. At Moore Barlow, we take birth injury compensation claims extremely seriously and our professional team of birth injury lawyers will do their utmost to ensure that you receive the compensation that you deserve.
Birth injuries may take many different forms and can include:
- Brachial plexus injuries / erbs palsy claims
- Cerebral palsy
- Shoulder dystocia
- Maternal injury claims
- Neonatal care
Birth injuries to mother can also warrant a birth injury claim and these can include:
- Perineal tears and episiotomy
- Damage to the pelvic floor
- Haemorrhoids (piles)
- Bladder and bowel problems
