Admission of liability from Hospital Trust after Erb’s Palsy investigation

T was born at Leighton hospital in 2013 and was diagnosed with a brachial plexus palsy to his right side. Clair Hemming was instructed to investigate a potential claim by his parents. Following extensive investigations, formal allegations were put to the Defendant Trust in 2020 by Tozers. The Trust had previously denied that they were responsible for causing T’s injury when his parent had asked for an explanation following his birth.

However, after instructing their own solicitors and formally investigating the claim, the Trust then responded to the allegations in June 2021 by admitting liability and offering an apology.

TXX is too young to assess his compensation award and his claim will now be stayed for several years.
