Postpartum haemorrhage negligence claims
Experiencing postpartum haemorrhage following childbirth can be a distressing and traumatic event. At Stephensons, we understand the emotional and physical difficulties women face when complications arise due to medical negligence. Our experienced medical negligence solicitors support you sensitively and professionally, ensuring your rights and wellbeing remain at the centre of your claim.
What is postpartum haemorrhage negligence?
Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) refers to excessive bleeding after childbirth. It is generally classified as either primary, occurring within 24 hours of giving birth, or secondary, occurring from 24 hours up to six weeks after delivery. While postpartum haemorrhage is not uncommon, healthcare professionals have a duty to promptly recognise symptoms, diagnose effectively and provide appropriate treatment to prevent serious complications.
Negligence arises when healthcare providers fail to adhere to acceptable medical standards, delaying diagnosis or offering inadequate treatment. Examples of postpartum haemorrhage negligence include:
- Failure to identify and treat excessive blood loss promptly
- Negligent management of labour, leading to increased risk of bleeding
- Delayed or inappropriate surgical intervention or blood transfusion
- Poor aftercare and monitoring following delivery
If you or someone you care about has experienced postpartum haemorrhage due to medical negligence, you may be entitled to compensation.
Can you claim compensation for postpartum haemorrhage negligence?
Yes, if you have suffered postpartum haemorrhage due to substandard medical care, you could be eligible to make a claim for compensation. Compensation claims can help secure financial assistance to cover various expenses, such as:
- Pain, suffering and psychological distress
- Loss of earnings due to inability to work
- Ongoing medical treatment or rehabilitation
