Adam Lloyd has been perfect at every step of the way. I am a part of a very risk-averse family and needed a very gentle hand throughout the legal process. He was patient, compassionate, and explained everything very well as many times as I needed it. Adam has made a massive difference for me and endeavored throughout this ordeal to keep me as informed as possible and to pursue the best path possible for me. I have no criticisms.
The level of Service provided by Kate Weston and the Team at BTT&J was exceptional. I felt they met all my needs to the highest standard, keeping me fully upto date at all times, with all actions being dealt with promptly and efficiently. I had full confidence in them and would not hesitate in highly recommending as the Solicitors to use for all your requirements.
Fantastic company to deal with!
The professionalism and hard work of Richard was outstanding. Despite a very long process, I was regularly kept up to date.
The outcome was very successful and was more than initially expected. Delighted to recommend, one of the best solicitors I’ve ever dealt with. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
We have dealt with Tyler on two occasions now. We couldn’t have asked for a more smooth, straightforward and painless process, all thankyou to Tyler. Tyler was at the end of the phone whenever we needed her and was able to answer all our queries. Would definitely, definitely recommend and we will look forward to dealing with Tyler again in the future.
I contacted BTTJ with a medical negligence claims when I was still grieving and being thrown medical jargon about my fathers unexpected death.
They were open and honest and helped me understand the options but also the limitations of a claim. They were there throughout the hospital investigation and inquest to talk through outcomes and explain medical and legal implications. It made a difficult and unknown process easier to navigate.
Sadly, and not through the fault of BTTJ, the payout was lower than we’d hoped but again this was fully explained, challenged and other options explored.
I felt fully supported throughout the process and trusted their judgement and experience. The best outcome for us as a family was to get an apology and BTTJ were able to get this formally for us which gave a sense of closure. Thank you for all your help.
"I Told Them Something Was Wrong, But They Said It Was Normal."
If you’ve been left feeling ignored, dismissed, or uncertain after pregnancy or birth, you’re not alone.
After a traumatic birth experience, it’s hard to know if what happened was negligence — or just unlucky. Many parents sit with doubt, guilt, or confusion for months — even years — because they:
- Were dismissed when raising concerns during pregnancy or labour
- Didn’t feel heard when symptoms or movements changed
- Had serious complications go unmonitored or untreated
- Were told everything was “normal” despite clear signs something was wrong
- Don’t know if what happened could have — or should have — been prevented
At BTTJ, our birth injury solicitors are here to:
- Listen to your story — and validate your experience
- Help you understand whether negligence may have occurred
- Guide you through your options with clarity and compassion
- Work on a no win, no fee basis — so there’s no cost to get answers
If you believe something went wrong during your care, we’ll help you find out what happened — and what can be done next.

Our Latest Success Story
£2.75 Million Settlement Secured for a Child with Cerebral Palsy After Delayed Emergency Care
AH was born in 1990 following a series of missed opportunities to recognise a placental abruption and respond urgently. Despite concerning CTG readings and Mrs H’s previous history, neither the midwives nor the attending consultant acted fast enough. AH was eventually delivered by emergency caesarean — but by then, it was too late to prevent serious harm.
He suffered intrapartum brain damage and later developed asymmetric quadriplegic cerebral palsy. AH now lives with complex disabilities, including mobility issues, hearing loss, dysarthria, learning difficulties, and a need for 24-hour supervision.
Through joint settlement meetings, we secured £2.75 million plus lifetime annual payments starting at £45,000, increasing to £105,000, enabling AH to purchase and adapt a home and access continuous care for life.
How Long Will You Live With Questions That Deserve Answers?
