Fatal Cerebral Palsy

While no amount of money can ever heal the loss of a loved one, a fatal cerebral palsy compensation claim can force the obstetric and medical teams to consider the mistakes made in the management of pregnancy, labour, and delivery as well as providing compensation to make life a little easier.

Medical mistakes can cause stillbirth or cerebral palsy brain damage that is so severe your baby does not survive either into childhood, or through childhood.

Breathing difficulties, repeat infections, and epilepsy are all consequences of the damage cerebral palsy can cause.

Please do read AW's story. AW passed away when she was three years old from breathing difficulties due to her cerebral palsy. We were able to continue AW s claim as a fatal cerebral palsy claim for the benefit of her mother and siblings. Continuing the claim forced the hospital to recognise the mistakes their obstetricians had made and to inform the family of changes to their practice. AW's family received a full apology, and compensation which has made a significant difference to the lives of AW's siblings and mother.
