Child health & paediatrics

Paediatric medical negligence claims often involve conditions and injuries that require specialised knowledge, including:

• Birth injuries: Such as cerebral palsy, brain hypoxia, or physical injuries sustained during delivery.
• Neurological & cognitive Impairments: Resulting from errors in treatment or diagnosis, impacting a child’s development and future needs.
• Severe physical injuries: Including spinal cord damage or orthopaedic injuries that may require extensive, lifelong care.
• Complications from misdiagnosis or delayed treatment: Leading to serious outcomes, such as untreated infections, undiagnosed conditions, or prolonged hospital stays.

Our team’s deep understanding of these medical issues helps us build a strong case focused on each child’s specific needs.

With several team members who are both legally and medically qualified, we can identify and address the key medical factors that underpin complex paediatric claims, helping to create a compelling case for compensation.

Families come to us often feeling overwhelmed and seeking guidance, not just legal support. We approach each case with the empathy it deserves, knowing that every detail matters when planning for your child’s long-term care.

Our solicitors work closely with medical experts and care specialists to understand the full scope of your child’s needs. This ensures we can help secure funding for:

• Specialised therapies: Such as physiotherapy, speech and language support, or behavioural therapies that are essential for developmental progress.
• Medical equipment & adaptations: Including wheelchairs, home modifications, and mobility aids that enable daily comfort and functionality.
• Future care & educational support: Providing for residential or assisted care needs, as well as educational resources to support your child’s growth and learning.

We believe in transparent, open communication at every stage. As we build a tailored case on your behalf, our solicitors will keep you informed, making sure you understand the process and progress of your claim. We recognise that families need both support and clear guidance, so we prioritise regular updates and are always here to address any questions or concerns that may arise.

When you work with Anthony Gold Solicitors, you’re partnering with a team known for its depth of experience and compassionate approach, giving you the confidence that your child’s future is in capable, caring hands.

We understand that paediatric injuries, especially those affecting cognitive, neurological, or physical development, often require extensive, lifelong support. Our team is dedicated to ensuring your child has access to:

• Specialist medical care: Covering any ongoing treatment from consultants, surgeries, or specialist medical providers to manage or mitigate the injury’s impact.
• Rehabilitation & therapy: Funding for physiotherapy, occupational therapy, or speech and language support essential for your child’s development and quality of life.
• Education & learning support: Resources to enable the best educational experience, including special needs support, private tuition, and learning aids.

In many cases, securing immediate financial support is just as important as the final compensation. We prioritise applications for interim payments where possible, providing your family with funds to cover pressing expenses such as medical bills, therapy costs, and specialist equipment.

These payments help to alleviate some of the financial pressures while your claim is ongoing, allowing you to focus on your child’s care and well-being.

For families whose homes need significant adaptations due to a child’s injury, compensation can make a meaningful difference. We work with medical and accessibility experts to ensure your claim covers the costs of:

• Home modifications: From ramps and accessible bathrooms to larger-scale adjustments for wheelchair accessibility, tailored to make your child’s environment safe and comfortable.
• Specialist equipment: Such as mobility aids, communication devices, and other tools that support your child’s independence and quality of life.
• Transport & mobility needs: Covering the costs of adapted vehicles or other transport needs, especially if regular medical appointments are required.

Our aim is to secure a compensation package that reflects the full extent of your child’s needs, both now and in the future. With Anthony Gold Solicitors by your side, you’ll have experienced, dedicated professionals committed to obtaining the resources needed to give your child the best possible support, stability, and care.

We recognise that no amount of compensation can undo what has happened, but it can make a significant difference in ensuring your child’s well-being, comfort, and opportunities for growth.
