Tozers LLP

Nationally recognised experts in HIE and birth injury claims

When a baby suffers a hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) injury, the impact on the whole family can be life changing. At Tozers, we understand that families need more than legal advice – they need answers, compassion, practical support and a team with the expertise to secure the very best future for their child.

Our specialist Medical Negligence team has decades of experience representing families affected by HIE and other serious birth injuries resulting from failures in maternity and neonatal care. We investigate whether mistakes before, during or shortly after birth contributed to your child’s injury, helping families understand what happened while securing the financial support needed for lifelong care where negligence is established.

What our clients say

Independent legal directories describe our team as a “highly regarded clinical negligence practice” with expertise in cases that is “unparalleled by anyone else in the market.”

Specialists in securing lifelong support

We know that pursuing a claim is about far more than compensation.

Our focus is on helping families obtain:

answers about what happened;
accountability where care fell below acceptable standards;
early access to rehabilitation and specialist support;
interim payments where appropriate to fund therapies, equipment, accommodation and care; and
financial security to meet a child’s lifelong needs.

Every family is different, and we tailor our approach to ensure you receive clear advice, regular communication and support throughout your journey.

Supporting families with compassion

Many of our clients come to us during the most difficult period of their lives. We are known not only for our legal expertise but also for the way we care for the families we represent.

Clients regularly describe us as approachable, supportive, professional and committed, with a genuine understanding of the challenges families face following a birth injury.
