Legal advice about injuries during childbirth
Harringtons Medical advises on concerns about maternity care and injuries during childbirth. These concerns may involve the use of forceps or vacuum delivery, the timing of a caesarean section, or the management of labour complications.
The enquiry may require a review of antenatal notes, labour and delivery records, monitoring records and information about care received by the mother or baby. Medical records and appropriate independent expert evidence help assess the care provided and whether an alleged failing caused harm. An adverse outcome alone does not establish medical negligence.
Harringtons Medical is the medical negligence department of Harringtons LLP in Dublin, led by David Harrington. The team can discuss your concerns and the information needed to assess them. Call 01 539 4747 or use the contact form below. You can make an initial enquiry even if you do not yet have all of your records.
FAQs
