Childbirth Negligence

When Medical Negligence Puts Mothers and Babies at Risk

Childbirth should be a safe and well-managed process, but medical errors during pregnancy, labour, or postnatal care can have devastating consequences for both mother and child.

If a healthcare professional’s mistake, delay, or poor judgment has caused you or your baby harm, you may be entitled to make a childbirth negligence claim.

Understanding Childbirth Negligence Claims

Common types of childbirth negligence include:

  • Failure to Monitor Mother or Baby Properly – Not recognising distress or warning signs that require urgent action.
  • Delays in Performing a C-Section – Waiting too long to carry out an emergency caesarean, causing preventable injuries.
  • Misuse of Forceps or Ventouse – Excessive force or incorrect use leading to birth injuries such as nerve damage, skull fractures, or brain injuries.
  • Medication Errors – Administering the wrong drugs or incorrect dosages during pregnancy or labour.
  • Undiagnosed or Mismanaged Conditions – Failing to treat pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes, or infections, leading to complications.
Childbirth Negligence Compensation

Could You Be Owed Compensation for a Childbirth Negligence Claim?

You may be eligible to make a childbirth negligence claim if:

  • You or your baby suffered harm – Medical negligence resulted in physical injury, long-term disability, or emotional trauma.
  • The injury was avoidable – Another competent medical professional would have acted differently to prevent the harm.
  • You are within the legal time limit – Most childbirth negligence claims must be made within three years of the injury. However, if the claim is for a child, they have until their 21st birthday to make a claim.

How Our Medical Negligence Lawyers Help You Secure Justice

At ASL Solicitors, we know that birth injuries and medical negligence can be life-changing. Our team of experienced solicitors in Greater Manchester and beyond is dedicated to securing the best outcome for you and your family. We will:

  • Secure Compensation for You and Your Child – Covering corrective treatment, rehabilitation, ongoing care, and financial losses.
  • Handle the Legal Process on Your Behalf – Managing negotiations with the NHS, private healthcare providers, and insurers to ensure the best possible outcome.
  • Provide Compassionate and Clear Support – Childbirth negligence claims can be highly emotional, and we are here to guide you with understanding and professionalism.

No Win No Fee Childbirth Negligence Claims

Worried about legal costs? We offer a No Win, No Fee arrangement, meaning you won’t face any financial risk when making a claim. If your case is unsuccessful, you won’t have to pay any legal fees. This ensures that you can pursue childbirth negligence claims without upfront costs, allowing you to focus on your recovery and well-being.

The Process of Making a Childbirth Negligence Claim

If you or your baby has suffered due to childbirth negligence, the first step is to contact our experienced solicitors in Rochdale. We understand the emotional and physical impact of birth injuries and are here to guide you through the claims process with expert legal support.

Our process includes:

  • Free Initial Consultation – We assess the details of your childbirth negligence claim, reviewing medical records to determine if negligence occurred.
  • Gathering Evidence – Our team collects medical reports, independent expert opinions, and witness statements to build a strong case. This may include records of missed diagnoses, delayed interventions, or errors during labour and delivery.
  • Negotiating Compensation – We seek to secure the maximum settlement, covering costs such as corrective medical treatment, ongoing care for your child, loss of earnings, and emotional distress.
  • Litigation (if necessary) – If a fair settlement cannot be reached, we are fully prepared to take your case to court and fight for the compensation you and your child deserve.
