What Is a Cerebral Palsy Birth Injury Claim?
Cerebral palsy is a lifelong condition often caused by brain injury before, during, or shortly after birth. In some cases, it results from medical negligence — such as delayed delivery, failure to monitor oxygen levels, or mismanagement of complications.
A claim can provide compensation to cover the like of:
Specialist medical treatment
Therapy and rehabilitation
Home adaptations and mobility equipment
Long-term care and support
Financial security for your child’s future
When Can You Claim for a Cerebral Palsy Birth Injury
Cerebral palsy can have many causes, but if it developed as a result of mistakes made by medical professionals, you may have grounds to bring a claim. Compensation can’t undo what has happened, but it can provide financial support for your child’s care, treatment, and future needs.
Circumstances were you may be able to claim if:
Mistakes during pregnancy, labour, or delivery caused or contributed to your child’s brain injury.
Delays in recognising or treating complications such as oxygen deprivation (hypoxia).
Infections or maternal conditions before or during birth — such as Group B Strep, pre-eclampsia, or jaundice were missed.
Negligence in postnatal care resulted in your child’s condition worsening
Every family’s story and case is unique, and no two claims are ever the same. That’s why it’s essential to consult with an experienced cerebral palsy claims specialist.
