Group B Streptococcus Claims

Yes, most of our group B streptococcus claims use no win no fee agreements. With a no win no fee arrangement, you’ll have nothing to pay until your claim is successful – at which point, the party responsible for your negligent care will pay most of our fees.

When you contact us, we will set up a free initial consultation to discuss the injuries you sustained during your labour.

If you choose to go forward with us, we’ll investigate your case in detail, gathering evidence from independent medical professionals who will work out what care you should have received and what your future treatment needs will be.

We’ll then contact those responsible for your negligent treatment to determine if they accept the blame for your birth injury. If they accept responsibility, we’ll secure interim compensation payments.

We’ll seek to settle claims out of court, keeping your claim as short as we can, but we may progress to court proceedings to get the best outcome and answers for you and your family. We have done this successfully for many families who were searching for explanations, not only for themselves, but also to ensure that others won’t have to go through what they went through.

The life-long effects of a GBS infection can be very costly for a family and if medical negligence is to blame, you deserve compensation to help cover those costs. A compensation award can be used to fund:

• Speech and language therapy
• Physiotherapy
• Occupational therapy
• Home adaptations or new accommodation
• Assistive technology
• Transport to medical appoints
• Care costs.

Our dedicated Support and Rehabilitation Coordinators will get in touch at the very start of your case to ensure that you get the support you need during and after your claim.

We understand that the true extent of developmental disabilities isn’t always clear until a child has grown up. We will work with specialists to fully understand the long term impact of your child’s injuries before finalising a settlement and make sure that your compensation covers their care needs both now and for the future.

Where liability is admitted we will ensure interim payments are obtained to assist with the child’s ongoing needs while a settlement is agreed. Many of our clients receive a large initial lump sum for initial costs and then yearly payments to cover ongoing expenses for the rest of their life.

Our solicitors have specialist experience dealing with the unique complexities of GBS claims and will guide you through the process with honest, straightforward advice and frequent updates. We’re friendly, compassionate and dedicated to achieving the very best result for you and your child.
