Spina bifida and hydrocephalus claims arise from birth or infancy injuries where negligent medical care is alleged, typically linked to delivery or antenatal care. A solicitor in this area handles investigations into what went wrong, gathers medical records and expert evidence, and pursues compensation for long-term care, adaptions, and loss of quality of life. They issue the claim in the appropriate civil court, negotiate with the NHS or insurers, and guide the client through settlement or trial and any ongoing care considerations.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The claim targets the financial impact of long-term care needs, equipment, housing adaptations, and loss of future earnings. A solicitor’s role includes securing specialist medical opinions, arranging liability and causation evidence, and advising on settlement terms and funding for future care, with professional oversight to protect the client’s position and rights.
