Failure to warn about specific disabilities
Our medical negligence
team specialises in claims relating to fetal
medicine.
Sometimes parents have not been warned that a
child will be born with a specific genetic disability. In some
instances if they had been warned would have terminated the
pregnancy.
There are many different birth or genetic defects a baby can have
such as:
- spina bifida
- club feet
- holes in the heart
- Down's syndrome
- Sickle cell disease
If your healthcare professional fails to
diagnose a birth defect which should have been easy to diagnose
(perhaps due to a faulty scanning machine or lack of staff
training) then you may be able to make a medical negligence claim.
In situations like this, damages often provide
for the costs associated with the welfare and healthcare of the
disabled child.
