You are entitled to claim against the car driver if the accident was their fault. Even though you may have been in some pain anyway following the birth, you can still claim for the extra pain which the accident caused and which you would not have had if you had not been run over. That is a matter of medical evidence.
Your claim would probably be handled under the new scheme for road accidents where your solicitor is paid a fixed fee for handling your claim so you don't need to worry about that bit.
It's always worth consulting a solicitor but remember you only have 3 years from the date of the accident to settle the claim or issue Court proceedings.
