Maternity Negligence Solicitors for Birth Tear Claims
Medical negligence claims, including those for substandard care in the maternity suite, are extremely complex, both in terms of identifying where and if any negligence has occurred as well as identifying the extent of the impact of any negligence on the life of the woman affected.
It is these aspects which form the basis of a successful claim and it is essential to get these assessments right.
Birth tear negligence
If a woman returns home after giving birth to her baby and realises that she is experiencing severe problems with her bowels, she may wonder why this is happening, whether it is normal and what she can do about it.
It may be that she has an unidentified and unrepaired severe tear which occurred during the birth of her baby. This can leave a woman suffering leakage and incontinence. Sometimes, it may even require the fitting of a stoma if bowel function is severely compromised.
This should not happen.
Every woman who has given birth through the vagina should undergo a thorough examination following the birth.
If she has suffered any damage to her anal muscles, it should be diagnosed accurately and fully repaired, ensuring that she recovers from any symptoms.
Identifying negligence
If a woman thinks that she may have an unrepaired 3rd or 4th degree tear, an investigation into the quality of her medical care and the presence of any negligence needs to take place before a claim can be initiated.
This requires the input of specialist medical experts with the overview of a specialist medical negligence solicitor.
Furthermore, if negligence is established, an experienced specialist solicitor is vital to analysing the ways in which the life of the new mother has been affected and the financial implications, such as a loss of earnings, both in the past and into the future.
