There are numerous injuries that can affect a mother either before or during birth.

Pregnancy and childbirth place a mother under a lot of strain, and so it is not unusual for injuries to occur.

Some of the most common injuries a new or expecting mother can endure include:

Preeclampsia
Perineal or vaginal tears
Uterine ruptures or prolapses
Excessive bleeding

Mothers can also be injured by complications in procedures like a caesarean section or an episiotomy.

How do I know if my injuries were caused by negligence?

While some injuries during childbirth cannot be prevented, others are the result of a medical mistake.

To claim that your injuries were caused by negligence, you must prove 3 details:

1. Did your healthcare professional breach their duty of care to you?
2. Did you suffer pain, injury, loss or damage during your treatment?
3. Was your suffering a direct result of this breach in care?

Working with a trusted medical negligence solicitor ensures your case is professionally investigated, giving you total assurance that you have a valid claim.

How can mothers claim for medical negligence?

Claiming for an injury you endured can be a challenge, especially when you’re looking after a newborn or your other children.

We assign one dedicated solicitor to manage your claim from start to finish, investigate all evidence, meet with medical experts on your behalf, and handle all negotiations to achieve the settlement you deserve.

How can claims compensation help you?

The compensation from a successful claim can be hugely helpful for your future. We know how impactful a birth injury can be both physically and emotionally, from ongoing pain and discomfort, to the increased likelihood of postnatal depression.

The compensation you secure can help cover the cost of necessary treatments or surgeries, pay for ongoing care and therapies, allow for adaptations to your home or vehicles, and finance services you can no longer perform.

How much does it cost to make a negligence claim?

Many people hesitate about making negligence claims over potential costs.

At Gadsby Wicks, we offer all claimants a Conditional Fee Agreement, also known as ‘No Win No Fee’. You never pay anything upfront, and we only get paid if we win your case.

No hidden costs. No financial risk.
