What is Obstetric and Gynaecological Injury?
Obstetrics relates to the area of health concerning childbirth and its associated processes. It includes the mother’s care during the pregnancy and shortly after the child’s birth. Gynaecology relates to the health and treatment of the female reproductive system. Therefore, both of these medical practices have significant overlap. Obstetricians and gynaecologists have a duty of care to ensure that procedures and treatments are administered correctly and in the patient’s best interest. Unfortunately, sometimes mistakes can occur as a result of medical negligence. Coleman Legal LLP understands that an obstetric or gynaecology treatment or procedure mishap can be very difficult and traumatic for you and your family.

Gynaecological injury claim process
1. Consult our medical negligence solicitor
It is advisable for you to speak to an experienced team of Medical Negligence Solicitors as soon as possible if you believe that you were not provided with an adequate or appropriate level of medical care, which resulted in you sustaining an injury or illness.
2. We obtain your medical records
After the consultation with your medical negligence solicitor, he/she will request access to your medical records and engage an independent medical expert to assess your records. The purpose of engaging an independent expert is to establish whether there was any negligence on the medical professional’s part.
3. The medical negligence litigation process
Where the independent medical expert is of the professional opinion that medical negligence did occur, upon your instructions, your solicitor will begin issuing legal proceedings in Court against the medical professional and/or hospital.
Statute of Limitation
The legal time limit to make a medical negligence claim is two years from the date of injury or date of knowledge that the injury or illness resulted from medical negligence. For children/minors, the time limit expires two years after their 18th birthday. You may contact a solicitor to discuss your case to advise of the Statute of Limitations applicable to your case.
