Negligent care during pregnancy, childbirth or the first few days of a newborn baby’s life can cause brain injury and lifelong disability from cerebral palsy.
We have further information on our specialist cerebral palsy website please click here.
Our experienced cerebral palsy claims lawyers understand cerebral palsy, its causes, and the way it will affect the child throughout their life. We support parents through the difficult conversations, investigations and decisions that follow a baby’s brain injury diagnosis. We secure early, substantial interim (advance) payments from the NHS or private hospital maternity team which caused the child’s injury, to meet their needs whilst the claim is ongoing. Each child’s needs arising from their condition, now and in the future, are carefully considered to ensure that they receive their full entitlement to compensation.
Led by Legal 500 ‘Hall of Fame’ accredited specialist, Susan Brown, our team are top-rated for the results they achieve for our clients. Their reputation for excellence is built upon decades of experience in helping brain-injured children and their families rebuild their lives after they are injured by negligent pregnancy, childbirth and neonatal care.
We achieve admissions of liability and maximum value settlements, structured to guarantee the best provision for each client’s individual needs, now and throughout their lives. Along the way, we can usually obtain substantial interim payments.
Working with our Court of Protection deputyship team, we can then begin to meet the child’s urgent needs, such as for care, therapies, suitable accommodation and specialist equipment. Our special educational needs (SEN) team can help with school placements and educational support.
Many of our client families continue to draw on our practical help, knowledge and support long after the conclusion of the compensation claim.
