Child Injury
Claims

When your baby or child is ill it’s very worrying and stressful. You understandably put your trust in doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals. You rely on them to diagnose the symptoms and recommend the correct treatment.

When this system fails you, we’re here to help. Supporting you when you put forward a medical negligence claim.

One of the most significant differences between claims arising in infants, children and young people, as opposed to adults, is that they are still growing up. An illness or injury sustained early in life can often inhibit your child’s development. This can have long-lasting effects that can remain with them throughout their lives.

To handle your case requires a team with the necessary specialist knowledge and skills. This includes being able to identify any care provision you are likely to need over the coming years.

Our specialist understanding of child injury claims has developed from many years’ experience. We’ve dealt with a wide range of cases arising from:

• Mismanagement of birth including delay in delivery and failure to recognise complications such as pre-eclampsia
• Cerebral palsy
• Erb’s Palsy
• Failure to identify and adequately treat symptoms of life-threatening illnesses such as meningitis and sepsis
• Failure to diagnose and adequately treat conditions like severe asthma, diabetes and childhood cancers
• Failure to diagnose and treat head injuries, bone injuries such as fractures, or dislocation of the hip
• Surgical error
