What Are Pregnancy & Gynaecology Injury Claims?
Pregnancy and childbirth should be safe and carefully managed. When medical professionals fail to provide proper care, mothers and babies may suffer serious and avoidable injuries.
A pregnancy and gynaecology injury claim is the legal process of seeking compensation for harm caused by substandard maternity or gynaecological care. These claims can cover mistakes during pregnancy, labour, delivery, and postnatal treatment.
If you or your baby have suffered due to negligence in the last three years, LITKRAFT can help you claim compensation and secure the support you need.
Who Can Claim?
You may be entitled to bring a pregnancy or gynaecology negligence claim if you are:
• A mother who suffered preventable injury during pregnancy, labour, or after birth
• A parent bringing a claim on behalf of a child injured due to negligent maternity care
• A family member claiming after a stillbirth or maternal death caused by medical errors
• A representative acting for someone unable to pursue a claim themselves

Types of Pregnancy & Gynaecology Injury Claims
Cerebral Palsy Claims
Cerebral palsy can result from oxygen deprivation during pregnancy or delivery. Negligence in monitoring, delayed caesarean section, or failure to respond to distress signs can cause lifelong disability.
Erb’s Palsy Claims
Erb’s palsy often arises from shoulder dystocia during birth. Failure to manage labour properly can lead to nerve damage in the baby’s arm, causing weakness or paralysis.
Stillbirth Claims
Negligent antenatal care, failure to monitor foetal health, or errors during labour can tragically result in stillbirth. Families may be entitled to claim compensation and support.
Perineal Tear Claims
Severe perineal tears can occur during childbirth. When medical staff fail to prevent, identify, or repair them correctly, women may face long-term pain, incontinence, or sexual health issues.
Meconium Aspiration Syndrome (MAS) Claims
MAS occurs when a baby inhales meconium-stained fluid before or during birth. Delayed delivery or failure to monitor distress can lead to respiratory problems, brain damage, or even death.
What Can You Claim For?
• Physical injury, pain, and suffering
• Long-term disabilities and care needs for mother or child
• Psychological harm and trauma
• Loss of income and reduced earning capacity
• Rehabilitation, therapy, and ongoing medical support
• Care and assistance provided by family members
• Travel costs and out-of-pocket expenses
• Funeral expenses in fatal cases
How Much Compensation Could You Receive?
The amount depends on:
• The severity of injury and long-term consequences
• Medical evidence and recovery outlook
• Financial losses, including lost earnings and care costs
• The impact on daily life and independence
• Future treatment, therapy, and support needs
Our solicitors use medical records, expert reports, financial documentation, and Judicial College Guidelines (JCG) to calculate fair and accurate settlements.

I am very impressed with the service provided. Thanks to LITKRAFT assistant I was able to prove my innocence. Third party was denying the damages suffered, but we never gave up, resulting in a settlement of compensation that I was really happy with.
If you had an accident – immediately call LITKRAFT. They are true professionals and it really shows, as they can tell you straight away if you have a case. When I had another accident I emailed all details to them and they called me back within 20 min.
Great company, fantastic staff who are just a phone call away to help. They were very patient in explaining every document received from solicitors or doctors. When we first started the claims process, the other party tried to deny liability, but LITKRAFT solicitor fought my case in court and won it. I was delighted with the process and I couldn’t have asked for anything more from LITKRAFT.
