Group B Strep Claims
Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a common infection in newborn babies that can be very serious, leaving some children with permanent disabilities such as Cerebral Palsy, blindness and deafness.
Sadly, GBS can also be fatal.
Claims for medical negligence can be made if there was substandard treatment which led to a baby contracting GBS (such as a failure to give antibiotics during birth when it was known that there was an increased risk of contraction) or where there were delays in diagnosis or other inadequate treatment.
Group B Strep Compensation
Awards of compensation for GBS can be used to fund the treatments a child needs to live life to the fullest and may include home adaptations or new accommodation, therapies, equipment, paid carers and case management.

Can my attorney just do what they like with my money?
You can only make an LPA while you have mental capacity so it is a good idea to think about it early, even if you are young and healthy. The chances are that you won’t need it for a long time and maybe not at all. However, if something unexpected happens, for example if you are in an accident, then having an LPA in place will be one less thing for your loved ones to worry about.
If you make an LPA now and change your mind about who your attorneys should be, then you can always make a new one later.
