Our childbirth anaesthesia error claim services

Childbirth should be one of the most exciting moments in a mother’s life; however, it can also be very stressful and unpredictable. Medical staff usually offer anaesthesia or another form of pain relief during a well-established labour. Usually, this is a perfectly safe option for expectant mothers but, in some instances, things can go wrong and staff can make mistakes.

The solicitors at Gibson & Associates have many years of experience in dealing with anaesthesia error claims for new mothers, which means we have acquired the expertise required to make a successful claim if your quality of life has been affected by poor care.

By getting in touch with our experts, we can help you to determine the strength of your case, and work out how much you could claim. We will then work to gather medical evidence and make contact with those responsible for your injuries, with the aim of reaching an early settlement or potentially securing interim payments.

No matter what you have experienced, we are dedicated to providing practical legal advice that will guide you in the right direction. Our aim is to ensure these cases run as smoothly as possible, and will provide full representation in the event your case does need to go to court.
