Severe Birth Injury: The case involved a child who developed cerebral palsy as a result of preventable complications during labor and delivery, where failures in obstetric care led to brain injury causing significant physical and cognitive impairments. Complex Care Requirements: The child requires extensive ongoing care including specialized therapy, medical equipment, educational support, and potentially adapted accommodation to meet their complex physical and developmental needs throughout their lifetime. Structured Financial Package: The £2.8 million settlement was carefully structured with a substantial lump sum payment to address immediate needs and annual periodical payments to provide ongoing financial security that adjusts with inflation. Life-Care Assessment: We worked with specialist life-care planners to develop detailed understanding of the child's current and future needs, including medical care, therapy, equipment, education, and the impact on family life. Expert Medical Evidence: The case required comprehensive evidence from leading obstetric and neonatal specialists to establish that the cerebral palsy was caused by preventable failures during birth and to understand the full extent of the child's needs.
