Stillbirth
Re: G
We acted on behalf of a woman whose baby died before he was born. Sadly there was not appropriate monitoring by the Trust the night before our client was due to give birth by caesarean section. We obtained an apology from the Trust. They also admitted breach of duty and after obtaining an expert Obstetricians report, made an offer of settlement that was accepted by our client one month after she first contacted us. Regrettably we will never be able to 'turn back the clock' for our client though the compensation and the apology have helped her come to terms with her grief. Our client's courage in pursuing her claim has highlighted to the Trust how they can prevent further tragedies.
Re: F
Defendant failed to warn of risks of home-birth and failed to monitor Claimant properly during her labour at home. Consequently the Claimant delivered a still-born child and suffered significant psychiatric problems. Case settled or £12,500.
Re: P
Defendant hospital was unable to locate vital medical records which would prove that the hospital was negligent in allowing a perfectly healthy baby to die in 30 minutes before birth. Nevertheless case settled for £21,000.
