Cerebral Palsy Compensation Claims
Cerebral palsy resulting from medical negligence may significantly impact a person's life. Being able to access cerebral palsy compensation can play an instrumental role in helping them to get the support they need to lead as independent a life as possible.
At JMW, our solicitors have worked on behalf of countless children with cerebral palsy caused by medical negligence, obtaining the care and support they require.
While cerebral palsy compensation cases can be complex, the expert clinical negligence solicitors at JMW specialise in this area and are here to guide you and your family through the process. Our highly skilled team is one of the most experienced in England and Wales at securing significant compensation for children who need to move to a suitable property, pay for care and therapy, and have access to the best equipment and technology.
Our cerebral palsy solicitors rank highly in the legal industry guides Chambers and Partners and the Legal 500 and several are on the Law Society’s specialist panel for clinical negligence. With client care that is second to none, we provide clear, trustworthy and honest advice, with a sensitive and compassionate approach. While compensation can never change what has happened, it can make a positive difference and make your child’s life immeasurably better.

“JMW have supported us as a family from the beginning, when we first found out X had suffered brain damage from kernicterus. We cannot thank Steven Brown enough for handling X’s case with expertise and in a professional, friendly and sensitive manner.
JMW are like an extended family. The support we receive from Steven and the Deputyship team goes above and beyond. Without JMW in our corner X wouldn't be where he is today. We have been able to get carers in place for X and specialist equipment, adaptations and treatment, which has made a massive difference to him and to the family. They will never get better, but JMW have helped to ensure that he will receive the best care and treatment to give him a better quality of life.”

Case study: “Charlotte’s” story
“Charlotte” had a difficult start in life after mistakes made during her birth led to her being diagnosed with cerebral palsy. However now aged 10 she has all the support she needs to live as independently as possible, enjoy school, and make memories with her family after JMW secured her a compensation settlement amounting to £25 million across her lifetime. Charlotte has been able to move into a larger, more suitable house that has been adapted to her needs. She also has daily visits from specialist carers who she and her family can trust and has weekly physiotherapy to ensure she remains as pain free as possible. Charlotte can also access weekly speech and language therapy and now has a special vehicle that makes getting to school and enjoying family days out much less stressful. It was a privilege to work on behalf of Charlotte and her family and help them to achieve a much brighter future.
*Legal aid is only available on cases where cerebral palsy occurred while a baby was in the womb, during birth, or in the newborn period. JMW can tell you if this applies to your child’s case.
