As part of our health and medical law speciality, we have had to advise expectant parents when things have gone wrong during a pregnancy or at the birth of their child. Such claims usually fall into 2 categories:
- A claim by the child if it is born with injuries that arise as a result of a failure by others looking after the mother during the pregnancy and birth.
- A claim by the mother as a maternal injury claim during or after the birth if there has been mismanagement.
