Birth injuries can mean extensive time off work for you or your partner, significant expenses and financial stress. But we’re here to help. We get to know you and your family to learn about your life before you or your baby were injured.
We take time to understand your work, family, social and financial situation. Then we look at what’s changed. Many of our clients’ birth injuries or traumatic birth experiences have led to other life complications and health issues.
By getting to know you personally we identify these issues and claim all your entitlements. That’s why you’ll get more compensation with Law Partners on your side.
A claim for compensation may be possible if the death of a baby was caused by negligent medical care. Potential negligence may include overlooking signs of foetal distress, delaying an emergency Caesarean section, piercing a mother’s placenta, or failing to identify or prevent an infection in the womb.
We’ve helped many parents claim compensation on behalf of their babies, but we understand your situation is unique, and different from every one of them. Getting more compensation for your baby starts with building a personal relationship with you, to truly understand your situation.

Get startedIt’s hard enough to cope with an unexpected injury – you shouldn’t have to deal with financial pain too.

Here are some examples of situations and injuries that can lead to compensation claims:
Here are some examples of errors that can lead to compensation claims:
You can claim compensation for birth defects that could have been prevented if the treating medical practitioner had exercised reasonable skill and care.
In addition, when an unpreventable birth defect is diagnosed early, and the parents are not financially prepared to care for a child who requires extensive medical care and assistance, sometimes with the advice of a medical practitioner, termination is considered the best option.
In cases where a medical practitioner fails to diagnose a serious birth defect prior to the baby being born or fails to provide appropriate advice to the parents about the child’s birth defect, this can give rise to a medical negligence claim.
Speak with one of our friendly birth injury lawyers today and find out if you can claim. It’s a free service for you.
Your birth injury lawyer will ask more questions and get to know you personally to work out everything you’re entitled to.
We’ll explain how we can claim all your compensation and give you our ‘no win no fee’ guarantee. The choice to proceed is all yours.
Your birth injury lawyer is backed by a team of specialists including paralegals, medico-legal experts, forensic accountants and barristers. Your team will work hard for you, check in with you regularly and always keep you up to date with your case. You’re in safe hands with Australia’s largest specialist personal injury firm.
Your birth injury lawyer will listen and assess whether you have a valid claim, and if so we’ll examine your medical records to determine whether they support an allegation of birth medical negligence.
We’ll then consult one or more qualified medical professionals and get expert written reports to back up the allegation of negligence.
Once we’ve established the likelihood of success with your birth trauma compensation claim, we’ll sit down with you and advise you on all your options.
If you decide to proceed, we’ll prepare your claim by compiling evidence including medical records, witness statements, medical reports, and forensic accounting reports to substantiate your claim.
We understand that making a claim against a medical practitioner is a big decision, and one that may be causing you some stress.
Remember that when you claim compensation, you’re seeking a settlement from the insurer of the hospital or specialist to compensate you for your losses. It’s a settlement you’re entitled to and deserve to receive if you’ve been harmed through negligence.
If you’re having trouble deciding, you’re welcome to simply call one of our birth injury lawyers and have a confidential conversation. There’s no pressure or obligation to proceed with a claim if you’re not ready, and we’ll always be here if you need us.
A no win no fee medical negligence lawyer offers to run your case for you and only get paid when you win. If you choose the right lawyer, it’s an excellent option that allows you to pursue your claim without any risk, but it’s important to check the lawyer’s costs agreement to fully understand what’s covered. With some no win no fee lawyers you can still end up having to pay thousands of dollars in disbursements if your case is unsuccessful. This is because their no win no fee agreements cover their professional fees but not the costs they incur. At Law Partners, our no win no fee, no disbursements guarantee covers all our costs and disbursements as well as our professional fees, so you can pursue your claim with peace of mind.
Unfortunately, gynaecological and pregnancy-related injuries frequently occur as a result of inattention, inexperience or unavailability of the treating medical practitioners in clinics and hospitals. The consequences for these injuries are often devastating, as they often cause significant physical and psychological damage, and sometimes totally debilitate the mother so that she’s unable to bond with and care for her new-born baby. These injuries can lead to breakdowns of relationships and have psychological effects on other family members. Seeking compensation can’t replace everything you’ve lost, but it can provide significant financial relief so that you can focus on your own wellbeing.
