How Can A Birth Injury Lawyer Help Me?
Serious birth injuries can have long-term and catastrophic effects for both mothers and babies. These impacts can carry on into an infant’s childhood and even their adult life. This can lead to substantial medical expenses, time off work or school, or reduced quality of life for you or your child, either temporarily or permanently. Additionally, birth injuries can result in significant emotional distress for patients and their families.
Not only this; but holding medical practitioners responsible for their malpractice can reduce the number of families affected by birth injuries. That said, making a successful birth injury claim can be difficult to prove. Birth injury lawyers need to prove the negligence of medical practitioners, which can be difficult.

You’ve probably seen a lot of lawyers use the term ‘No Win, No Fee’. Long story short: you only pay us when you achieve a successful outcome. So if you don’t get paid, we don’t get paid.
Let’s break it down.
- We start by reviewing your claim in detail and give you a clear assessment of your prospects for success. We’re experts in compensation law, so we can give you an accurate assessment of your claim.
- Once we’ve established that you should pursue your claim, you can tell us if you want us to proceed as your legal representatives. To formally appoint us as your legal representative, you will enter into a ‘Conditional Costs Agreement’ with us. This is a legal contract that sets out the likely costs of running your claim based on our fees, as well as the rights and responsibilities of you as the client and us as your legal representatives.
- We’ll explain it clearly and thoroughly, with as little legal speak as possible – we promise you’ll understand it completely.
- Importantly, this agreement will set out the ‘No Win, No Fee’ arrangement in black and white. This specifies that you will not pay us anything if your claim is not successful. Our ‘No Win, No Fee’ agreement also covers you for disbursements, or outlays. These are expenses that we may need to pay to progress your claim, including medical reports, expert witness fees and barristers’ fees.
- In certain circumstances, you may be required to pay the other party’s legal costs if you are unsuccessful.
- Remember, your success rests on you providing us with an honest, comprehensive account of all matters relevant to your claim.
