What is Birth Trauma?
Birth trauma refers to physical injuries or psychological harm sustained by a mother or baby during pregnancy, labour, or delivery as a result of negligent medical care.
This can include failure to monitor fetal distress, delayed caesarean section, mismanaged shoulder dystocia, improper use of forceps or vacuum, failure to diagnose maternal conditions, or inadequate post-birth care. The consequences can range from temporary injuries to permanent disabilities requiring lifelong care and support.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my child's injury was caused by negligence?
Not all birth injuries result from negligence. We work with leading obstetric and paediatric experts to review your medical records and determine whether the standard of care fell below what was reasonably expected. A free initial consultation will help determine if you have a viable claim.
What if my child needs lifelong care?
If your child has suffered a catastrophic injury requiring ongoing care, we ensure your claim accounts for all future needs including medical treatment, therapy, equipment, care assistance, home modifications, and loss of earning capacity. We work with care planners and economists to accurately value these long-term costs.
Can I claim for emotional trauma as a mother?
Yes, mothers who have suffered psychological harm as a result of birth trauma may be entitled to compensation for mental health treatment, counseling, loss of bonding time, and the impact on quality of life. This is assessed as part of your overall claim.
How long does a birth trauma claim take?
Birth trauma claims are often complex and require thorough investigation. Most cases take 1-3 years to reach settlement.
What compensation can we receive?
Compensation may include past and future medical expenses, therapy and rehabilitation costs, care and assistance needs, special equipment, home modifications, loss of income for parents, pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life. For catastrophic injuries, settlements can be substantial to ensure lifetime care.
