Cerebral Palsy and Brain Injury
These are complex claims and Harwood Solicitors will endeavour to secure the best possible results. Not all cases of Cerebral Palsy in childbirth are caused by medical negligence however negligent errors include:
- Failure to note changes in CTGs
- Delays to performing emergency Caesarean sections
- Errors in using forceps or ventouse
- Errors in managing Caesarean sections
- Delays in performing instrument deliveries using forceps or ventouse
- Failure to perform CTGs to monitor baby’s heartbeat
Through the course of your claim we will investigate thoroughly to ensure that you and your child receive the best care possible. Where possible, we will seek to obtain part-payment of damages at an early stage (known as interim payments) to support you in providing care or treatment at home, adapt your home and to provide necessary rehabilitation aids and equipment.
