Our team provides compassionate and expert legal support for families affected by Leeds maternity negligence and birth injury cases, guiding them through complex, distressing circumstances with sensitivity and care.

If you’re considering making a birth injury claim, one of the first questions you might have is how do I pay for legal fees? Pursuing a claim can feel overwhelming, especially when dealing with the emotional and practical challenges of caring for a child affected by birth injuries.

At Switalskis, we closely monitor developments in healthcare to ensure patients receive the best possible care and support. Recently, North Lincolnshire Council leader, Councillor Rob Waltham, made a heartfelt appeal for urgent investment in maternity services at Scunthorpe General Hospital.

The loss of a baby is one of the most heart breaking experiences a family can endure. When that loss is caused by medical negligence, it raises serious concerns about the standard of care provided.

If your child has experienced complications around birth, and you're worried about their development, you may be feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, and looking for answers. You're not alone and support is available.

Birth-related brain injuries can happen in an instant, but their effects often last a lifetime. Conditions such as Hypoxic-Ischaemic Encephalopathy (HIE), which is when a baby’s brain doesn’t receive enough oxygen or blood during pregnancy, labour or shortly after birth, can lead to long-term challenges for both the child and their family.

We are in the final stages of planning our Brain Injury at Birth Conference, taking place on 1 May 2025 at the Leeds Marriott Hotel.

The High Court in London has approved a multi-million pound settlement for a man who sustained severe brain injuries at birth.
