A law firm with the resources to help

Our medical malpractice team, with two registered nurses and two specially trained attorneys, consults frequently with medical experts throughout the United States. We determine how the injury to your baby might have been prevented. We gather medical records, interview relevant medical personnel with information about your treatment, and develop a case for compensation. Birth injuries can leave children with lifelong special needs. We focus helping parents meet those needs.

We have handled many types of birth injury cases

Our birth injury attorneys have handled many claims involving cerebral palsy, Erb's Palsy, and shoulder dystocia. Umbilical cord injuries can cause asphyxiation or serious oxygen deprivation, which in turn can lead to brain damage. Mismanagement at many stages of the pregnancy, labor, and delivery process can lead to birth injuries such as these. Failure to do a timely c-section, or failure to respond promptly to changes in the baby's condition before birth are common causes of birth injuries.

Errors causing injury to the mother

Some medical errors can lead to injuries to both mother and child. Anesthesia errors, such as misplacement of an epidural, can leave to nerve damage in the mother. Over-medication of the mother can slow labor, increasing the risk to the baby and causing damage to the mother's nervous system. Our birth injury lawyers and nurses have developed complex cases involving multiple medical errors and injuries to baby and mother.
