Birth Injuries
Birth Injury Solicitors in Cheltenham
If you or your child suffered an injury during pregnancy, labour, or delivery due to medical negligence, you may be entitled to compensation. At Pembridge Solicitors, we support families across Cheltenham and Gloucestershire who have been affected by avoidable birth injuries — helping them secure the financial support they need and deserve.
We understand how devastating it can be when the care you expected falls short. Our team is here to listen, guide you through your options, and pursue justice on your behalf.
Types of Birth Injury Claims We Handle
We represent parents and families in cases involving:
- Failure to monitor mother or baby during labour
- Delays in performing a necessary caesarean section
- Misuse of forceps or vacuum delivery
- Failure to recognise or treat signs of foetal distress
- Untreated maternal infections affecting the baby
- Errors with anaesthesia during childbirth
- Injuries during antenatal care or postnatal treatment
We also assist with claims involving serious and life-altering outcomes such as:
- Cerebral palsy
- Erb’s palsy
- Brain damage due to oxygen deprivation
- Fractures or nerve injuries
- Maternal injury due to delayed or mismanaged care
If earlier action or better medical decisions could have prevented the injury, we can help you take legal steps forward.
What Can You Claim Compensation For?
A successful claim may provide compensation for:
- Pain and suffering
- Ongoing medical care, treatment, or therapy
- Home adaptations, mobility aids, or specialist equipment
- Loss of earnings (yours or your child’s future earnings)
- Special educational needs or private care
- Psychological trauma for parents or caregivers
We work with independent medical and financial experts to calculate the long-term impact on your family.
