Solicitors / Coroners
Build your team of expert medical and non-medical witnesses, and barristers, quickly and efficiently using our dedicated directory of birth injury and obstetric litigation specialists.
They often require evidence from multiple experts across a wide range of disciplines, and for lawyers working on these cases, finding the right experts for a case can be both time-consuming and difficult.
With 4 major independent maternity reviews completed or underway (Shrewsbury & Telford; Nottingham; Sussex and Leeds) as well as the publication of Baroness Amos’ national maternity and neonatal investigation in June 2026, birth injury negligence is routinely in the media headlines. Unsurprisingly, medical negligence claims arising from failures in maternity care are at a record high.
Finding the right experts for a case can be both time-consuming and difficult.
The Birth Injury Expert Hub is a dedicated directory of Expert Witnesses in birth injury and obstetric litigation, and Barristers, which solicitors and coroners can search by specialism. Our directory includes expert witnesses across a broad range of specialisms, including: obstetrics, midwifery, neonatology, neuroradiology, paediatric neurology, care, therapies, forensic accountants and disability architects.
A single birth injury claim can need a dozen or more experts. Finding them usually means relying on word of mouth, potentially out of date contact lists, and hours of calls and emails. The Birth Injury Expert Hub brings the whole field together in one specialist directory, so you can find, compare and instruct the right experts quickly, whether you act for claimants and defendants.
Save fee earner time spent researching for and approaching medicolegal experts and barristers.
Reduce the cost of instructing the wrong medicolegal expert or having to start again by sending out Letters of Approach.
Get an early, informed view on whether a case is worth pursuing.
All of the experts included in the Birth Injury Expert Hub’s directory have been vetted and approved. Experts must complete an application form (to include CV and experience), and upload a redacted report. We also ask for evidence such as training or CPD. Each application is reviewed by the director for that speciality.
