Dad Still Standing

Healing and Justice: Legal Action After Baby Loss

Listen on

Episode notes

This episode focuses on medical negligence and legal action and the fraught conversations among families about whether to sue or not. 

The dads - with absolutely zero expertise in this - are thankfully joined by Guy Forster from the Irwin Mitchell legal firm. Guy is a partner there and heads up their Medical Negligence team. The episode dispels some of the myths about legal action as well as covers the threshold for taking on or winning claims; what the process looks like; and the emotional impact of doing so on families.

Interestingly we also explore not just the financial implications of taking legal action but the policy and practice changes it can lead to. Ultimately saving more babies' lives.
