Wrongful birth: potential pitfalls and practical steps

It is no secret that wrongful birth claims present some of the most complex and challenging issues in medical malpractice. When the child has a disability, they can also be some of the largest value claims Insurers will face.

We will be looking at the key issues and potential pitfalls of such litigation, and will provide the essential toolkit for insurers.  

In the seminar we will cover: 

• The impact of recent case law including the Court of Appeal decision in Khan v MNX [2018]  
• Examining the 'patient journey' through the antenatal process, and the risks for certain Insureds 
• Practical guidance for investigating liability and quantum  
• Possible defences  
• Applying the principles of vicarious liability and non­delegable duty of care  
• Accurate reserving for large­scale claims
