Our experienced solicitors will assist you in understanding your rights, assessing whether your birth experience may have resulted from inadequate medical care, and guiding you through the process of seeking compensation for your injuries and losses.
We understand that discussing a traumatic birth can be difficult. Our team will provide compassionate, sensitive and professional support throughout your matter.
At Melinda Griffiths Lawyers, we understand that the birth of a child should be a safe and supported experience. Unfortunately, some women experience significant physical, emotional and psychological trauma during pregnancy, labour or birth.
Birth trauma can arise from inadequate monitoring, failures to recognise or respond to complications, delays in emergency treatment, inadequate communication or a lack of informed consent and choice.
Our Expertise & Focus Areas
• Physical Injuries: Claims involving 3rd and 4th-degree tears, pelvic floor injuries, nerve damage and surgical complications.
• Birth Complications: Including delayed emergency caesarean sections, postpartum haemorrhage and failures to appropriately monitor or escalate care.
• Psychological Trauma: Claims involving PTSD, anxiety, depression and other psychological injuries following a traumatic birth.
• Informed Consent: Where women were not provided with appropriate information about their treatment options, risks or alternatives.
• Ongoing Impact: Considering the impact of birth injuries on a woman’s health, ability to work, family and financial circumstances.
