What is medical negligence | Birth injury claims

Becoming a parent and bringing a baby into the world should be one of the most meaningful moments in a family's life. But for some families, childbirth can be a journey which involves unexpected challenges and life-altering complications.

Some parents feel disrespected and disregarded by healthcare providers and pressured not to raise their concerns during the birth. Other families might experience medical events or care that cause deep distress or even physical injury to the mother or baby.

What can birth injuries look like?

Medical negligence can lead to many types of birth injuries. Some of these injuries can be quickly identified and treated, but other birth injuries may take years to identify and can require lifelong care.
