Birth Injury Solicitors for Severe Tear Compensation
If you are thinking of making a claim for compensation for medical negligence, you want to be certain that the negligence you experienced is fully identified and that its impact on your health and quality of life is comprehensively assessed and compensated.
3rd and 4th degree tears
Without timely and competent medical care, a severe birth tear, otherwise referred to as 3rd and 4th degree tears, can be utterly life-changing and highly distressing. These injuries to the anal muscles need to be correctly diagnosed shortly after the birth of the new mother’s baby, and fully and effectively repaired by an experienced surgeon.
If this does not happen, the new mother may face a lifetime of loss of control of both wind and faeces. The broader impact of these symptoms can devastate her self-confidence, her ability to work, her ability to engage with a wide range of chores and activities and require significant adjustments to the way she lives her life.
Investigating and assessing a claim for compensation
Investigating the quality of medical care and assessing the many ways in which negligent care may have affected an individual requires the experience and expertise of a legal practitioner who specialises in medical negligence law.
These claims are associated with very specific legal deadlines and procedures which, if not adhered to, may put the success of the claim at risk.
A solicitor who has specialised in this area of law for many years will be extremely familiar with the various procedures and deadlines and will ensure complete adherence to them.
Furthermore, they will be able to obtain copies of the new mother’s medical records and have access to a comprehensive network of the best medical experts who will analyse the quality of the maternity care.
The financial losses and additional costs caused by the impact of the negligence will be comprehensively assessed, taking into consideration the restrictions and challenges in the new mother’s life and, where appropriate, her loss of earnings insofar as this has been caused by negligent care.
