The birth of a child should be a time of happiness, excitement and celebration. Sadly, when negligent mistakes are made by medical professionals the result is pain, heartache and frustration for parents and the wider family.

What is the next step if I have suffered a birth injury due to negligence?

If negligent mistakes are made by medical professionals during the birth of a child, this could lead to injuries being sustained by either mother and/or baby. Our birth injury medical negligence specialists can provide you with the expert advice needed to determine whether you have a birth injury negligence claim or not and offer guidance on what you should do next.
