Child Health and Injury

Shortcomings in medical care can have devastating consequences on your child or babies’ life. When the system fails you, we’re here to help.

An illness or injury sustained early in life or during pregnancy can inhibit a child’s development. Handling these cases requires a team with the necessary specialist knowledge to assess the case, the medical prognosis of the child, and the impact that their illness or injury is likely to have on their quality of life. For example, if your baby has cerebral palsy due to medical negligence, we are here to help. We have supported many families through the process of making a successful claim and subsequently secured substantial compensation.

Baby loss

Losing your baby during pregnancy or birth is a heart-breaking and distressing experience. Sadly, you may be left feeling that your baby’s death could and should have been avoided. Such a loss can have a huge psychological impact on everyone involved. It can affect relationships, work and mental well-being. Mothers can also suffer physical injuries. In cases like this, when questions need to be asked, our team of specialists can provide vital support for you and your family.

We can support you in making a complaint about your care and, if needed, ensure there is a thorough investigation into what happened and why.

You can trust us to work for you. But don’t take our word for it – take a look at our many successful claims.

Attwaters Medical Negligence team is here for you.

We pledge to provide you with outstanding personal service and communication, unrivalled industry knowledge and a proven track record of successfully achieving compensation for clients who have made claims regarding child health and injury.

Whenever possible we seek to obtain an interim payment from the responsible party’s insurers to assist with any financial hardship you have been caused and to pay for treatment privately.

If you think you may have grounds for a claim, Attwaters Solicitors will offer you a jargon-free consultation and assessment free of charge. If we agree that your case is sufficiently strong, we will clearly explain the ways in which the costs may be covered, probably on a ‘no win, no fee’ basis, before we start working together to achieve the outcome you deserve.
