A prenatal exam shows a pregnant woman lying on her side in a hospital bed with her large belly visible. A healthcare provider in a white coat and blue scrubs is holding the woman's hand, providing support and care during the check-up.

Sustaining a serious birth injury during what should be a time for celebration can be emotionally and physically devastating and can badly affect your relationships and quality of life.

Some of the most common birth injuries that can affect women during childbirth include:

  • 3rd and 4th degree perineal tears
  • fissures
  • incorrect suturing (stitching) following an episiotomy or a Caesarean section
  • failure to manage pre-eclampsia or other infections

We are expert in winning birth injury cases and will pursue compensation for your pain and suffering against those who provided negligent treatment. Such funds can pay for treatment to get you back as far as possible to your former self.

We understand that it may be difficult to talk about your injuries. We are good listeners and sensitive to how your life has been affected in different ways. We are here to support you as well as advise you.
