Birth injuries resulting from medical malpractice
Our law firm has worked with many families after medical negligence resulted in an injury to their baby. We understand what parents are going through as they try to understand what happened during labor and delivery. We work to obtain the resources they will need in the future to care for their child.
Our birth injury cases have involved babies injured because of:
- Failure to monitor
- Failure to perform C-section in timely way
- Failure to diagnose gestational diabetes or pre-eclampsia
- Forceps injuries
- Failure to recognize fetal distress
- Prescribing a harmful drug during pregnancy
As a result of these negligent actions, our clients’ babies have experienced brain injuries, cerebral palsy, Erb’s palsy, delayed development, broken limbs, seizures and deaths. We have helped many parents obtain the compensation they need to care for children who have suffered a birth injury.
Brain injuries resulting from medical malpractice
