Paediatrics is the treatment of illnesses in Children. Children can have illnesses that are not common in adults: congenital and inherited diseases, for instance, or infectious childhood diseases. Add this to consent and legal responsibility issues, and you have an area of medicine that is very complex. Common paediatric claims that we deal with include:

• Misdiagnosis
• Delays in diagnosis
• Problems with surgery
• Drug errors
• Medical errors relating to meningitis
• Medical errors relating to sickle-cell disease
• Insufficient epilepsy care
• Birth injuries
• Injuries causing cerebral palsy
• Anaesthetic care

If a medical mistake harmed your child then he or she may be able to claim compensation. Contact us and we will discuss matters with you further.
