Birth Injury Compensation

Michael is a direct access barrister who has been assisting families involved in birth injury claims for over 10 years.

For most adults, the birth of a child is a joyous occasion. For a very unfortunate minority of mums and dads, an injury sustained by their child during delivery can result in long-term health and developmental problems.

One of the most serious conditions associated with an injury at birth is cerebral palsy, which is often caused by a lack of oxygen. Cerebral palsy usually manifests itself during the first three years of a child’s life and can affect their physical and mental development for the rest of their life.

While in many cases birth injuries are not negligent some newborns are physically or mentally harmed through medical negligence. Michael can assist you should you need him.

Michael is registered as a direct access barrister so you can instruct him directly in order to avoid having to pay solicitors fees.
