Yes. A mother may be able to bring a claim if she suffered avoidable injury because of poor care during pregnancy, labour, delivery or the period after birth.

Claims can involve severe tears, poor repair, infection, haemorrhage, delayed treatment, surgical injury, failure to monitor, lack of informed consent or psychological trauma linked to negligent care.

A claim may include compensation for pain and suffering, treatment costs, lost earnings, care provided by family members, psychological support and the longer term impact on daily life.

Havard Law Solicitors can review what happened and advise whether the care should be investigated.
