Cerebral Palsy & Birth Injury Claims

As members of Action Against Medical Accidents (AvMA), TBI are highly qualified to give specialist legal advice on birth injury claims.

It’s a complex and sensitive area and one that calls for very specialist legal knowledge in order to ensure justice is achieved.

At TBI we have specialists dedicated to medical negligence claims and in particular, experts who represent families which have suffered because of an injury their child has sustained at birth, or during ante-natal care.

10% of Cerebral Palsy cases were a direct consequence of an injury during or immediately after birth.

If your child has cerebral palsy, and it can be shown that negligence by the medical team during or after the birth caused or contributed towards the condition, you could have grounds for a claim.

Legal Aid is an option to fund your claim, depending on your financial position. There are also excellent insurance policies to cover your costs, regardless of the final outcome.

Recent Client Stories

£2.9 Million for Child Starved of Oxygen at Birth

Our infant client had cerebral palsy. After checking the medical records and notes it was discovered there was evidence his brain had been starved of oxygen at birth. We instructed various medical experts to investigate the claim and they confirmed that the brain had indeed been starved of oxygen and that this was as a result of negligence on the part of the hospital.

We issued Court proceedings against the hospital, which were strenuously defended. However, shortly before trial, an agreement was made with the defendant's solicitors whereby they agreed to pay 90% of the damages. After obtaining further reports, the case settled out of Court in the sum of £2.9 million.
