Lifelong Consequences for Newborn Baby

Table of Contents
Osbornes Law specialises in assisting families who have experienced birth injuries. We have represented families who have faced the loss of a newborn during childbirth or where insufficient maternity care, whether it occurred before, during, or after labour, resulted in harm to the baby or mother.
Our dedicated team is led by Stephanie Prior, with over twenty-five years of experience supporting families in pursuing birth injury claims and holding NHS Trusts accountable. Before her career as a lawyer, Stephanie was a senior NHS nurse. This background equips her with a deep understanding of medical terminology and procedures, enabling her to detect any irregularities within her clients’ medical records swiftly.
Stephanie Prior is representing a young girl who sustained a brain injury of the utmost severity at the time of her birth. The impact that this has had on the young girl’s family is catastrophic. The case is complex and ongoing. Stephanie is also acting for other children who have also suffered significant brain injuries at the time of their birth and many have very young parents who require much support and guidance on issues that are often unrelated to their claims.
Brain injuries that occur at birth, often referred to as birth-related brain injuries or neonatal brain injuries, can result from various factors and complications during the labour and delivery process. These injuries can have lifelong consequences for the newborn.
To speak with Stephanie about your situation and to find out if it may be possible for you to bring a claim, please get in touch with Stephanie. You can fill in the form below, and we will get back to you.

Osbornes have advised me on writing my will and completing Lasting Power of Attorney documents. I found the process very thorough, which gave me confidence. The lawyer was clear and patient. The fees were very reasonable.
“His service is impeccable. He is extremely thorough in his investigations … I would highly recommend his services and that of the Osborne Law in general to anyone who needs legal representation to address such matters.”
The Osbornes mediation team is excellent and has some good individuals.
I can’t think of anyone who would handle a mediation better than Lisa.
"Naomi Angell is a highly esteemed practitioner who is highlighted as "a leader in the field" and "extremely knowledgeable" by interviewees. She is particularly recognised for her experience in complex adoption disputes."
