Our Cerebral Palsy Compensation Claims Services
Assessing your cerebral palsy claim
Our cerebral palsy solicitors near Watford will begin by assessing the details of your case. You will be invited to explain what happened to cause your child’s cerebral palsy diagnosis.
At this stage, we will determine whether or not you have the basis of a successful claim. Where we believe that you have the foundations of a claim, we will discuss the next steps in the process, and the relevant funding options.
We realise that cerebral palsy birth injury claims and the related circumstances can be incredibly difficult. Rest assured that you can rely on us to proceed with sensitivity and care.
Building your cerebral palsy medical negligence case
Our expert solicitors will build your medical negligence claim by gathering evidence, including medical records, witness statements, and any other relevant information.
Using this information, we will establish the negligent actions that resulted in your child’s cerebral palsy diagnosis and the consequent impact on their future.

Drafting and submitting a Letter of Claim
Next, our solicitors will draft a Letter of Claim. The letter is used to establish the medical negligence allegations. It will describe what happened, how the incident could have been prevented, and the damages sought.
Where the defendant admits liability, your solicitor will begin to value your claim and work towards negotiating a settlement.
If the defendant does not admit liability, your solicitor will review your case in the context of the defence and continue to work toward settling your claim. Depending on the progress of the claim and circumstances, it may be necessary to eventually settle your claim in Court.
Mediation processes
If the Defendant admits liability for cerebral palsy negligence, we can use mediation or another form of meeting where lawyers work to a negotiate settlement, known as alternative dispute resolution (ADR) to secure compensation. Our team have substantial experience in using both methods to secure high levels of compensation.
We have extensive experience supporting clients through the mediation process. Our team understands that the claims process can be daunting and will ensure that you have the compassionate and practical support you need.
Court processes
At Ashtons Legal, we work with highly experienced and talented barristers. Where alternative dispute resolution is not an option, we can represent you in Court, guiding you through each stage of the process, and answering your questions.
If you would like to discuss any aspect of the Court processes, please get in touch with our experts at Ashtons.
Free rehabilitation services
When you work with our team at Ashtons, we provide a free rehabilitation service. This means that those who have been affected by medical negligence can access support before any settlement is awarded.
When we are discussing your case, our team will explain more about how our free rehabilitation service works, and how we can help you.
