Birth Injury
Because any serious birth injury can result in a lifetime of medical needs — strong efforts have to be made toward maximizing compensation so that people will have the resources they’ll need to deal with them. Our attorneys understand what’s at stake, and we will fight aggressively to make certain that your rights and interests are protected.
Our birth injury practice includes cases of:
- Cerebral palsy
- Shoulder dystocia/Erb’s palsy
- Hypoxia (brain damage)
- Failure to diagnose fetal distress
- Failure to perform a C-section
- Failure to diagnose preeclampsia/eclampsia in the mother
- Injuries to the mother
With any medical malpractice claim, our job is to prove that accepted standards of care were violated and that those violations led to the birth injury or death. Our firm seeks out the most respected medical experts to establish and clearly demonstrate to whomever we need to exactly how the tragic medical mistake could have been avoided with appropriate care.
As in all other areas of litigation, we use technology resources including realistic anatomical models, computer-generated recreations of surgical procedures, real-life depictions of operations, and whatever else is needed to make complex medical issues understandable to a judge or jury.
