Have Questions About Pregnancy or Maternal Injury Claims?
Experiencing an injury during pregnancy or childbirth can be overwhelming. You’re not alone — I can answer your questions and help you understand your options.
1. What counts as a pregnancy or maternal injury?
Maternal injuries are physical or psychological injuries sustained during pregnancy, labour, or childbirth. These can include perineal tears, nerve damage, infections, or psychological trauma such as postnatal PTSD. If your injury was caused or made worse by delays, poor management, or medical errors, it may be considered medical negligence.
2. How long do I have to bring a claim?
In medical negligence cases, you have two years from the date of injury to begin legal proceedings. It’s important to seek legal advice as early as possible. The sooner we can begin reviewing your records and gathering evidence, the stronger your case will be — and the easier it may be to secure the support and answers you deserve.
3. Can I bring a claim while I’m still recovering and caring for my baby?
Yes. I understand how difficult this time can be, and I’ll work with you in a way that’s manageable and respectful of your circumstances. There’s no pressure — just clear advice at a pace that works for you.
4. What outcomes can a pregnancy and maternal injury claim achieve?
A successful claim can help secure compensation for medical costs, ongoing treatment, loss of income, emotional distress, and future care. It can also bring answers, recognition, and closure after a traumatic experience.
5. Will I have to go to court?
Most pregnancy and maternal injury claims are resolved outside of court. If a hearing is needed, I’ll personally guide and support you throughout the entire process, ensuring you're fully prepared and reassured at every step.
