A woman who suffered brain damage at birth is to receive compensation of more than £1 million after the hospital admitted to failings in her care.

Jackie Crothall went into hospital expecting twins in January 1988, but had started to experience difficulties, ThisisHampshire.net attests.

She was in need of an emergency Caesarean, but staff at the Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester failed to recognise this.

As a result, one twin died and the other, Becky Crothall, suffered brain damage that led to cerebral palsy.

Now 21, she is unable to go out alone and cannot be left unsupervised.

Through her mother, Becky took legal action against South Central Strategic Health Authority and has now secured the payout.

Her legal representative said that the money is not a windfall, but a just settlement to pay for Becky’s future care and the assistance she has already received.

According to Scope, one in 400 children in the UK suffers from cerebral palsy. Around ten per cent of cerebral palsy compensation claims are due to complications at birth.

A woman has issued a high court writ on behalf of her son who was injured at birth.

Gillian Wick claims that, during a difficult delivery, staff at Heatherwood Hospital in Ascot pulled too hard on Jack Wicks’ head.

This, she alleges, caused Erb’s Palsy – paralysis of the arm caused by injury to the upper group of the arm’s main nerves.

Jack, now nine, has reduced motion in his right arm, making tasks such as getting dressed difficult, GetBracknell.co.uk reports.

He has already had to undergo major operations on his arm and is likely to need more treatment in the future.

Ms Wicks is claiming £300,000 on Jack’s behalf and the hospital has agreed to a breach of duty through "inappropriate traction", although the two sides are yet to agree upon how much compensation will be paid to Jack.

If an out of court settlement has not been reached soon, judges at the high court will make a decision as to the sum.

A man has won the right to take legal action against a hospital he accuses of medical negligence.

Jonathon Khairule suffers from cerebral palsy, a physical condition that affects movement.

He is wheelchair-bound and communicates by typing on a keyboard with his nose, the Coventry Telegraph reports.

Recently, the 27-year-old secured the right to bring a birth injury claim against the North West Strategic Health Authority, despite the fact that he did not take legal action within the normal time limit set in such cases.

He stated: "It wasn’t until I was in my early 20s that I started to do some investigating. I did not know if I would be able to claim compensation, I just wanted answers."

In July, the high court ruled Mr Khairule’s claim could proceed and he is now free to take action against the health authority.
