Obstetrics & Gynaecology Claims

Clinical negligence claims in this specialty consistently outnumber those in any other area of medicine. Obstetric cases are about double those in gynaecology. The majority of claims in obstetrics are on behalf of a baby and JMW Clinical Negligence Department is widely recognised as an expert in the field of cerebral palsy, obtaining settlements of over £6 million for its clients.
