We determine the legal strategy that will result in maximum compensation. Clients rely on us to get them through what can be an emotional and challenging time.
Examples of Birth Injuries and Their Causes
Our lawyers handle childbirth injury cases that arise from:
- Poor prenatal care
- Failure to monitor during labor
- Failure to order a C-section
- Incorrect use of forceps
- Failure to intervene in a timely way
- Prescription of dangerous drugs during pregnancy
- Failure to identify and stop mother’s hemorrhaging
- Lack of oxygen to the baby
Failures such as these can lead to permanent disability involving brain damage, cerebral palsy and other conditions in the child. They can also lead to infection and infertility in the mother. Death of either the mother or child may occur.
