Case studies

We recently concluded a birth injury case following a very complex investigation considering care dating back several decades.

This claim was brought on behalf of our client for a brain injury sustained at the time of birth, which was caused by a prolonged period without adequate oxygen or blood flow.

A year ago, the clinical negligence team at Penningtons Manches Cooper achieved a successful settlement for an 11 year old boy who suffered brain damage arising from his mother’s antenatal care at St George’s Hospital in London.

Our clinical negligence team has achieved a high-value settlement for a young girl with cerebral palsy following a hearing at the Royal Courts of Justice.

A young woman has been awarded substantial damages following failings in her maternity care during and after labour at Royal Preston Hospital (part of Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust).

We recently settled a claim for our client, whose baby daughter was born with Patau’s syndrome following clinical negligence by her GPs and the hospital antenatal clinic.

We have settled a claim for a young girl in relation to negligent treatment provided during her mother’s labour, which resulted in brain damage.

Our client sustained a severe brain injury, which resulted in four-limb cerebral palsy, due to the shunting of blood between monochorionic twins in utero.

We have successfully settled a claim for a young mother who sustained a second-degree tear during the birth of her baby, which was erroneously sutured with non-dissolvable suture material. Typically, such repairs would be stitched using dissolvable material.

Our client sustained a traumatic brain injury during their delivery and, in particular, during attempts to disimpact the fetal head.
