Claiming compensation is not personal. Each and every healthcare professional working in the UK has to be covered by professional insurance, for time just like this. And those working in the birthing suites are not an exception.
Even if that healthcare professional is a trusted friend, if negligence has occurred, you should still explore the possibility of claiming – it’s to help you and your baby. And, if your claim is successful, your compensation is paid by the insurance company. It does not come out of the pocket of the person who’s guilty of negligence.
Think of how car insurance works, this works the same. A driver takes out a policy to cover the costs of being in an accident, that’s considered to be their fault. When the other person in the accident makes a claim for whiplash, for example, it’s your insurance company that makes the payment if the claim succeeds – not the driver.
People are afraid of making claims for compensation, but there’s nothing to be frightened of, we’ll help you through the process, every step of the way.
