Birth injury claims

Our expertise in birth injury claims

Most of the families who come to us are not just seeking compensation; they are looking for answers, reassurance, and security for their child’s future. Our team are committed to easing the burden on you. We understand that birth injuries can leave families feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, and deeply affected by the lasting consequences for their child.

The Medical Negligence team here at Anthony Gold Solicitors are here to help you pursue the justice and resources needed to support your child’s lifelong needs. We’ll work to ensure that the mistakes leading to your child’s injury are acknowledged, helping to prevent similar tragedies for others in the future.

Our approach to securing the best for your child

We understand that a successful birth injury claim is about more than just compensation; it’s about securing a future where your child has access to the care, support, and resources they need to thrive. Our approach is rooted in a deep commitment to both legal excellence and compassionate client care. Here’s what you can expect when you choose us to handle your birth injury claim:

A tailored, client-focused process

Each birth injury case is unique, and we approach it with the attention and care it deserves. From the very first consultation, our team will listen carefully to your story, gaining a clear understanding of how your family has been affected.

We know this isn’t just a legal matter; it’s personal. Our team are here to support you through every step of the journey, making sure that the legal process feels manageable, transparent, and centred around your needs.

Comprehensive case preparation for maximum compensation

Our primary goal is to secure the highest possible compensation for your child’s immediate and long-term needs. This involves a thorough and methodical approach to building your case.

We gather detailed evidence, working closely with leading medical experts to understand the full extent of the injury and the impact it will have on your child’s life.

This evidence helps us calculate not only the direct costs, such as medical expenses and specialist equipment, but also the more complex aspects, like future care needs, therapies, and educational support.

Strategic use of interim payments

We recognise that families often face immediate financial pressures due to their child’s birth injury. Whether it’s for ongoing medical treatment, essential equipment, or specialist therapy, these needs can’t wait until a case is fully settled.

That’s why we pursue interim payments—partial payments that can be awarded while your claim is still in progress. These payments provide critical financial relief, allowing you to focus on your child’s care without the added stress of immediate financial worries.

Structured settlements for long-term security

Birth injuries often require a lifetime of specialised care and support. In most cases, a compensation package that provides long-term security is essential.

We advocate for structured settlements that include a capital lump sum to address upfront costs and annual payments to cover ongoing needs. This approach ensures that your child has a reliable source of funds for their lifelong care, tailored to the evolving requirements as they grow.

Collaboration with a network of experts

To secure a truly comprehensive settlement, we work with a network of trusted professionals, including:

medical specialists
care planners
financial advisers
rehabilitation experts

These experts provide insights that help us paint a complete picture of your child’s future needs. This collaboration is key to creating a settlement that not only compensates for the injury but also actively supports your child’s development and wellbeing over the years.

Transparent communication & guidance throughout

We know that navigating a birth injury claim can feel daunting. That’s why our team is committed to maintaining clear, open lines of communication with you at every stage.

We will keep you informed about progress, explain the legal terms and processes in plain language, and answer any questions you may have. Your peace of mind matters to us, and we strive to make the process as supportive and accessible as possible.

Beyond compensation: advocating for change

For many families, pursuing a birth injury claim is not only about securing financial support but also about ensuring that similar mistakes are less likely to happen in the future.

By holding medical providers accountable, we aim to promote improvements in healthcare standards and prevent similar injuries. Our team understand this motivation, and we are here to help you seek justice in a way that may also benefit others.

Why trust Anthony Gold Solicitors with your birth injury claim?

Choosing the right solicitor to handle a birth injury claim is a deeply personal decision. We understand the weight of this choice and are committed to providing an exceptional standard of service, built on years of expertise, empathy, and a proven track record in complex medical negligence cases.

Specialist expertise in birth & child injury claims

Birth injury claims require a unique level of expertise, combining an understanding of complex medical issues with a deep empathy for the affected families. Our team specialises in cases involving cerebral palsy, brain and spinal injuries, and other cognitive impairments stemming from birth traumas.

We have decades of experience helping families secure the compensation needed for long-term care, therapy, and specialised support for their child’s evolving needs.

A team dedicated to compassionate client care

We understand that, for many families, pursuing a birth injury claim is not just about financial compensation—it’s about achieving justice and accountability. Our team approaches every case with compassion, treating each family as partners in the journey toward resolution.

We listen to your concerns, respect your decisions, and make sure you feel supported throughout the process. Our goal is to alleviate as much stress as possible, so you can focus on what matters most: your child’s wellbeing.

Commitment to transparency & clear communication

Navigating a birth injury claim can feel overwhelming, particularly for families already dealing with the challenges of caring for an injured child. At Anthony Gold, we believe in making the process as straightforward and accessible as possible.

We maintain clear and open communication, breaking down complex legal concepts into plain language and keeping you informed at every stage. Our team is here to answer your questions, address your concerns, and provide the guidance you need to feel confident in our work.

Securing lifelong support for your child

Our approach is not only to pursue compensation but to structure it in a way that supports your child’s future needs. We understand that birth injuries often require ongoing care, specialist therapies, and adaptive equipment that evolve as your child grows.

Our team is dedicated to securing compensation that accounts for these lifelong needs, helping to provide a stable financial foundation for your child’s wellbeing.

A track record of positive outcomes and family satisfaction

We are proud of the results we have achieved for families affected by birth injuries and other severe medical negligence cases. Our track record includes significant compensation awards that have transformed our clients’ ability to access quality care, therapies, and educational resources for their children.
