Common Causes of Birth Injury Claims

Birth injuries can have many causes, and not every complication involves negligence. We assess whether the care provided during pregnancy, labour or delivery fell below the expected standard.

Medication, surgical, monitoring errors

Delayed response to fetal distress

Common Birth Injuries

Birth injuries can affect mothers and babies, with some requiring ongoing treatment or long-term care. We can assess whether the injury may have resulted from substandard medical care.

Common Birth Injuries Include:
  • Severe tears, pelvic or nerve injuries
  • Excessive blood loss, infection or surgical complications
  • Cerebral palsy or brain injuries
  • Brachial plexus injuries, fractures or seizures
  • Developmental or long-term neurological conditions

Who May Be Eligible to Make a Birth Injury Claim?

Not every birth complication is caused by negligence. You may have a claim if substandard medical care caused preventable physical, psychological or financial harm.

You may have a claim if:
  • Care fell below the expected standard
  • The injury could have been prevented
  • Negligence caused physical or psychological harm
  • You suffered financial losses
  • Your child suffered avoidable injury

What qualifies as a birth injury claim?

Any injury caused to the mother or child due to medical negligence during pregnancy, labor, or delivery.

Yes. Emotional distress is a valid part of your compensation if negligence occurred.

Not right away. We’ll help collect all evidence, including expert medical reports.

We operate on a no win, no fee basis meaning zero costs unless we succeed.

In NSW, generally within three years, but exceptions apply for minors and delayed diagnosis.

Many people are uncertain whether their experience involved negligence. A lawyer can review the available information and explain whether further investigation may be appropriate.

No. You don’t need to collect all of your medical records before seeking legal advice. Your lawyer can explain what information may be required and assist with obtaining relevant documents where appropriate.

In some circumstances, psychological injuries caused by negligent medical care may form part of a birth injury compensation claim.

The timeframe depends on factors such as the complexity of the case, the medical evidence required and whether the claim settles through negotiation or proceeds further.
