If something didn’t feel right during pregnancy, labour, or delivery — and you or your child are now living with the consequences — you may wish to explore whether you have grounds for a birth trauma claim or NHS maternity claim.
Many parents search for answers about birth negligence, childbirth negligence claims, or possible traumatic birth compensation. Our Free Claim Checker helps you understand whether what happened could amount to an actionable injury at birth claim — and what your options may be moving forward.
No. You don’t need to gather anything before speaking to us.
If there may be a claim, we can help request and review the relevant medical records for you as part of our free, no-obligation assessment.
Yes, but it’s often more flexible than people expect.
In many birth injury cases, the time limit doesn’t start until much later — particularly where a child is involved.
We can explain how this applies to your situation when you speak with us.
There is no upfront cost to you.
Birth injury claims are usually handled on a No Win, No Fee basis, which means you only pay legal fees if your claim is successful.
We’ll explain everything clearly before you decide to proceed.
Most birth injury claims are resolved without a court hearing.
Our aim is always to reach the best possible outcome with as little stress as possible for you and your family.
If court proceedings are ever required, we’ll guide and support you every step of the way.
That’s completely normal. Many parents come to us feeling unsure.
You don’t need certainty or proof — just a sense that something may not have been right.
Our role is to help you understand what happened and whether there may be grounds for a claim.
No. Making a claim will not affect the care your child receives, now or in the future.
Your child’s wellbeing always comes first, and claims are handled separately from medical treatment.
A member of our specialist birth injury team will review your information and contact you to find out more, talk through if you have a valid claim and what happens next.
There’s no obligation to proceed, and no pressure at any stage.
You don’t need to know the law. You don’t even need to be sure. Just tell us what happened, and we’ll help you understand where you stand — simply, confidentially, and with no pressure to take things further.
Secure. Confidential. No Win, No Fee
In 2022, DH received care from the Defendant NHS Trust which fell below the standard he should have received.
In May 2023, he sadly suffered a stroke, a life-changing event with significant and ongoing effects.
After we set out what went wrong, the NHS Trust accepted responsibility for the care DH received. This gave him clarity and peace of mind, allowing the focus to move towards recovery and future support.
As a result, we secured early financial support to help ease the pressure caused by his injuries and early retirement, while ensuring he can access the rehabilitation and ongoing care he needs.
SBW Law continues to support DH as his case progresses, with a focus on securing the long-term care and assistance required to maximise his quality of life.
If something didn’t feel right during pregnancy or birth, it’s natural to want answers.
You don’t need certainty — just a sense that things may not have gone as they should.
Our team can help you understand your situation, gently and in confidence, and explain whether there may be a claim and what support could be available.
