Many birth injuries are the result of a medical mistake occurring during labor and delivery. When the baby is too large or is in an unusual position or when the baby is not receiving a sufficient supply of oxygen, a Caesarian section (C-section) may be the best option. However, many doctors fail to diagnose these problems and fail to make the decision to perform a C-section. Monitors may indicate that the baby is in distress or that the placenta is no longer functioning. Force may be used to deliver the baby, which can result in nerve damage and decreased blood supply to the brain and other organs, resulting in tissue damage. Metabollic disorders can fail to be diagnosed, resulting in irreversible damage to the newborn. Our firm has represented families affected by the following types of birth injuries:
Many parents of affected children mistakenly believe that their child's condition occurred naturally, but our lawyers often find upon deeper investigation into the birth that the injuries resulted from errors made by the physician, nurse, or hospital. Our lawyers understand the emotional and financial pressures on families with disabled children, and we are dedicated to winning compensation for you and your child. We will investigate your pregnancy, labor, delivery, and newborn care to determine whether medical malpractice contributed to your child's condition. We know that you are faced with providing treatment throughout your child's life, and you should be fairly compensated not only for this treatment and associated medical expenses, but for your family's pain and suffering.
