Baby Birth Injuries

Put your medical negligence claims in the safest hands.

Support and compensation for babies injured at birth

Is your claim viable? Let’s find out.

If your baby has been injured during birth, we understand how overwhelming that can be. A legal claim can help you get the answers you deserve and secure the support your baby may need now and in future. Speak to one of our team, and we’ll quickly assess whether you have a strong claim and what outcome you’re likely to expect.

Clear guidance, every step of the way

Our specialist solicitors have years of experience helping families through birth injury claims. We’ll take the time to listen, explain your options clearly, and guide you through what can often be a long and emotional process — with empathy and practical advice at every stage.

Long-term support for your child’s future

Birth injuries can affect a child for life. If your baby has a physical or brain-related injury, a successful claim can secure funding for ongoing care, housing, therapy and more, providing security and peace of mind for your family.

We could not fault the service provided by the whole team at Tees. Responsive, supportive and extremely professional throughout. The success in the case and the justice achieved was what we wanted.

I have been told my property has development potential. What do I do?

If you’ve been contacted by a developer or a land promoter regarding a potential development to your property, you may wish to consider granting an option agreement or a promotion agreement. An option agreement is made between the landowner and the developer, where it is intended that the developer will apply for planning permission and requires an option to buy the property. A land promotion agreement is used where a developer agrees to apply for planning permission and will market the property for sale on the open market once planning permission has been obtained. This is usually in return for a proportion of the net sale proceeds. The law on this is very complex and you will need specialist advice.
