Specialist Solicitors in Childbirth Anal Tear Medical Negligence.
Speaking to a specialist solicitor is essential if you are thinking of making a claim for compensation for negligent care of a 3rd or 4th degree birth tear.
Medical negligence compensation claim
Analysing the quality of medical care and the consequences of negligence is a complex process, requiring considerable experience and specialist expertise. Understanding where negligence may have occurred during and immediately following a vaginal birth requires scrutiny of the new mother's medical records by the best medical experts.
Furthermore, in order to produce a comprehensive assessment of the impact of negligent maternity care on the new mother's quality of life and her associated financial losses requires extensive experience in this complicated area of law.
Childbirth anal tears
Severe tears, referred to as 3rd and 4th degree tears, cause substantial damage to the muscles which control the passing of wind and faeces. Prompt and accurate diagnosis followed by a full and competent repair is essential if symptoms are to resolve and the new mother is to recover from her injury.
Suffering a tear to the anal sphincter during childbirth only happens to a small minority of women. When it does occur, however, the consequences can be distressing, debilitating and permanent. Not surprisingly, the bowel symptoms associated with such injuries, such as incontinence of wind and faeces, can affect almost every aspect of a woman's life including her ability to work, to socialise and even to leave the house. Her ability to bond with and support the development of her baby can be compromised, not least by her loss of confidence.
She may require specialist treatment and equipment in order to manage her symptoms and may suffer a loss of income.
The financial impact can be incorporated into a successful claim where the symptoms and associated difficulties are found to have been caused by negligent medical care.
Negligent care can include a failure of examination, a failure of diagnosis and a failure of repair.
