A caesarean section involves making incisions in a mother's abdomen and uterus to deliver a baby.  Caesarean sections take place when a natural birth could be life threatening to the mother or child.  Unfortunately, caesarean sections can go wrong due to medical negligence and have serious consequences for the mother and child. 

At Darbys, we have experienced solicitors who are experts in dealing with caesarean compensation claims and will do their utmost to achieve the best possible outcome for you.   If you have had a problematic caesarean or you were not offered one when you believe you should have been, then we can help you.

When a Caesarean Section Should Take Place


Below are a few scenarios where a caesarean should be offered:
•    Forceps or Ventouse deliveries have been tried unsuccessfully
•    The umbilical cord is in the birth canal - otherwise known as cord prolapse
•    The placenta is low in the uterus - also known as placenta praevia
•    The mother is experiencing placental abruption
•    Labour has been going on for an unusually long time
•    The baby is distressed
•    The baby is breech
•    The baby is premature
•    The mother's health is a concern

Common Caesarean Mistakes


There are many ways in which caesareans can go wrong. Below are some examples:

•    Damage to other organs in surgery
•    Anaesthetic awareness (feeling pain in the procedure)
•    Performing an unnecessary caesarean
•    Not performing a caesarean when necessary

Delaying or failing to perform a caesarean section can lead to serious consequences for mother and child.  Here at Darbys, our specialist medical negligence solicitors have dealt with many cases before and therefore offer you a great chance to receive the compensation you deserve.  If you have had a problematic caesarean or your doctor did not offer one when you feel they should have, get in touch.
