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.

Birth injury negligence FAQs.

Making a birth negligence compensation claim seems like a big step. Should I do it?

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.

How do no win no fee medical negligence lawyers work?

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.

What are the potential consequences of birth injuries?

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.

What can I say? Absolutely amazing support and results from Lydia and her team at Law Partners. Dealing with an accident claim since 2019 and have had nothing but the best service.

I’d like to thank Lydia and the team for going above and beyond through the whole process of the claim. This will definitely help with the process of getting back on track with life after a traumatic accident.

Thank you again.

My husband and I spoke with James David. He patiently listened to our situation and was very understanding, asked the right questions and gave us various options to consider.

Thankfully, with James’ advice and support I was able to come to a financial settlement with the concerned party without the need to pursue it legally.

James still supported us through that process even though we hadn’t formally engaged Law Partners.

James was very responsive the whole time and communicated clearly and empathetically. I wouldn’t hesitate engaging James in future should the need arise and would recommend Law Partners. If you think you have a claim it’s certainly worth giving them a call.

I was reluctant at first to put a claim in but I contacted Law Partners and was called back by Elyse to have a chat. From that moment on, Elyse, Brooke & Sarah have been brilliant. They have answered all my questions straight away, explained everything in detail, given me all the different options available and in the end, resolved my matter with a positive outcome. It has been a very pleasant experience working with them and I would gladly recommend Law Partners, Elyse and her team. Thank you!

I truly can’t thank the team at Law Partners enough. The amazing work that Jennifer and her team and Elyse and her team are doing for me is appreciated beyond what I can convey here in a short review.

The friendly, thorough and professional manner in which they’ve all approached my case has helped me tremendously during this difficult period in my life.

I would just like to take this opportunity to thank Law Partners for their services. The outcome was excellent and right from the first meeting to the last, Law Partners made the whole process feel seamless and effortless! I was pretty uncertain at first choosing a lawyer but so glad I chose Law Partners.

Thank you for the final paperwork and the transfer of funds into my account. After my car accident I was advised by my grandson’s girlfriend who is a solicitor, to get the services of a compensation law firm. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending your company to anyone who might need a law firm in the future.

D Barnes gave Law Partners a

First of all I would like to thanks Minaa, Vicky and Sakeena for guiding me through all the process of claim without any hassle. Although my claim was quite bit tough as I don’t have recollection of the accident, they manage to find out all the relevant evidence in order to dispute the insurer decision claiming me as fault. Their advice and guidance throughout the process always make me more comfortable and confidence to get the best possible outcomes. Overall, I am totally satisfied with the outcome of the claim as the claim has been settled with more than my expected amount. All of the team members from Law Partners are cooperative so I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend law partners for anyone needing help with personal injury claims.
