If you or your child has cerebral palsy due to medical negligence, you have the right to sue the NHS or any private medical facility involved. Some individuals worry about the moral or ethical implications of bringing a claim against the NHS, but in the UK all doctors have a duty of care to their patients, and if they make a mistake they have the right to seek compensation for serious injuries or conditions like cerebral palsy. What’s more, claims can push the NHS to improve how they take care of their patients, making sure they learn from their mistakes and provide better care in the future.
