Other birth injuries and neonatal injuries

Our clinical negligence solicitors and litigation lawyers pursue claims arising from injuries caused to babies during delivery. Please see our information about cerebral palsy and child brain injuries. As well as representing children with brain injuries we often represent children who have suffered injuries such as:

• Erbs palsy (obstetric brachial plexus injury) following shoulder dystocia
• Avascular necrosis following hip dysplasia

The long term effects of these injuries can usually be prevented or minimised by appropriate diagnosis and treatment. Our specialist clinical negligence solicitors, led by 10 experienced partners, are aware of the signs and symptoms which should lead to diagnosis and of the problems which can arise through inappropriate treatment.

Our team are aware that such injuries can be devastating for the family concerned and can affect the baby for the rest of his or her life. We are experienced in assessing, with the assistance of appropriate medical experts, the impact of such injuries on lifestyle, development, schooling and employment. The compensation can include funds for adaptations to allow the child to use everyday items both now and in the future.

We have clients all over the country and are pleased to visit families in their homes. We feel that it is important to speak to our clients face to face so you feel comfortable with your solicitor and so your solicitor gets to know you and can better understand your individual needs.
