Antenatal Injury Claims

If you've suffered because a doctor or nurse has made a mistake, you may be able to make a compensation claim on the grounds of medical negligence.

Antenatal injury claims typically arise as a result of a medical professional's failure to offer antenatal screening or conduct blood tests at the appropriate time. Antenatal screening helps doctors identify potential issues during birth, including physical abnormalities, whilst blood tests can highlight blood conditions with the potential to cause haemorrhaging during birth.

What we mean by, 'Antenatal Injuries'

An antenatal injury is any injury or condition that affects mother or child, which could have been avoided, or had its impact lessened, if a medical professional had ordered the appropriate scans or procedure at the correct stage of the antenatal treatment process. 

Screening can include blood tests to identify Down's syndrome, ultrasound scans capable of detecting foetal abnormalities and blood tests, which ensure the mother does not suffer from a pre-existing condition that could cause severe haemorrhaging during birth.
