You are not alone

"I knew something had gone wrong — but I didn't know what to do next."

After a traumatic birth, it can take months — or years — to process what happened. Many families live with unanswered questions, guilt, and grief. They hesitate to seek advice because they:

Aren't sure whether what happened counts as negligence
Feel guilty questioning the care they or their baby received
Worry the process will be too stressful or complicated
Don't want to relive a traumatic experience
Aren't sure a claim is worth the emotional toll

At SBW Law, our role is to help you understand whether the care you received fell below an acceptable standard — and, if so, what you and your family can do next.

Recent Success Story

Securing justice for a family following a traumatic birth

When Ms B attended hospital in active labour, midwifery staff failed to adequately monitor foetal heart rate patterns that showed signs of distress. A timely emergency C-section was not performed, and her baby suffered a hypoxic brain injury as a result.

SBW Law investigated the failures in the Trust's care and brought a birth injury claim on the family's behalf. The Trust admitted liability at an early stage, and SBW Law secured £250,000 in compensation — providing the family with the financial support they needed and the accountability they deserved.
