Severe Cerebral Palsy: The case involved a child who suffered the most severe form of cerebral palsy as a result of birth injury, with profound physical and cognitive impairments requiring 24-hour care, extensive medical intervention, and comprehensive support throughout their lifetime. Birth Injury Causation: The severe cerebral palsy resulted from preventable complications during labor and delivery, where catastrophic failures in obstetric care led to severe oxygen deprivation causing extensive and irreversible brain damage. Catastrophic Care Needs: The child requires round-the-clock specialized care, extensive physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, specialized medical equipment, adapted accommodation, and ongoing medical supervision throughout their lifetime. Record-Breaking Award: The settlement of over £7 million represents one of the highest birth injury awards in UK legal history, reflecting both the severity of the injuries and the exceptional legal representation required for such complex cases. Life-Care Planning: We worked with the UK's leading life-care planning experts to develop comprehensive assessments of the child's extraordinary lifetime needs, including medical care, therapy, equipment, accommodation, education, and family support requirements.
