Birth Injury Claims – Get Compensation in Bristol

Compassionate and Sympathetic Solicitors

Bristol parents are encouraged to call our helpline today and ask us about how we work on clinical negligence claims. Our solicitors** are sympathetic and compassionate and dedicated to helping parents who have not received the care they would expect.

Cerebral Birth Injury Claims

One of the more prevalent birth injury claims that Accident Claims Bristol can support with, are cerebral palsy birth injuries. This occurs when a child suffers brain damage during birth. Parents of children who have a brain injury are set for some unique and demanding challenges, and it’s only right that they receive the legal support and compensation that they deserve.

The financial strains on parents caring for children with severe handicaps, including cerebral palsy, can be very demanding, and as such it demands a thorough and professional approach to compensation arrangements. Our solicitors** are able to offer that support.

Birth Injury Claims – The Process

Our solicitors** are committed to our Bristol clients, and have a compassionate attitude, whilst providing a professional service. Every birth injury claim that we deal with will be handled with the utmost care and respect. We will listen to you each step of the way, and tell you exactly what’s happening at all times.

To get started, call us today. We will be able to ascertain the claim type you have and then assign you a personal injury solicitor** as local to Bristol as possible. We may need to assign you a solicitor** further away if your case demands a certain expertise.

Our birth injury solicitors** will look at the following aspects to your circumstances when investigating birth injury claims in Bristol:

  • Were there problems on the cardiotocograph (CTG), your baby’s heart monitor?
  • Was your labour or delivery long or poorly progressed?
  • Was the possibility of fetal distress mentioned by the obstetric doctors or midwives?
  • Was there any delay in the attendance of the obstetric doctors?
  • Was there any delay in having an emergency caesarean section?
  • Did your baby require resuscitation immediately after delivery?
  • Did your baby convulse or fit shortly after delivery?

In addition to that, where we are representing clients with cerebral palsy claims, our solicitors** will investigate the circumstances leading up to and after the event. Our solicitors** will fight tirelessly to make sure that we uncover as much evidence as possible to support your compensation claim.
