Vida’s baby was born by emergency caesarean

In March 2021, Vida’s baby was born by emergency caesarean section Bantam Hospital. The baby required resuscitation. She was not able to see her child as the baby was immediately rushed to the NICU where a tube was inserted to help her breathe. Vida saw the baby for the first time the next morning. At that time, the baby was in an intensive care box, surrounded by tubes, monitors and other medical equipment. Vida could not hold or touch her baby. The baby was later diagnosed with brain damage for which the Bantam NHS Trust has admitted liability on the basis that there was a culpable delay in delivering the baby after clear signs of distress were evident on the heart monitor.
Vida has suffered psychiatric injury because of the traumatic birth, witnessing the baby’s time in the NICU and receiving the child’s diagnosis of brain damage.
What are Vida’s prospects of successfully suing the Bantam NHS Trust for her psychiatric injury?
