Was your child injured during labor and delivery?
A birth injury is an injury that occurs before, during or immediately following the birthing process. Obstetricians, nurses and others assisting in the delivery must follow a standard of care that keeps mom and baby safe. When the standard of care is not followed, obstetrician malpractice may result. If you have reason to believe your child’s birth injury was the result of a doctor’s or nurse’s failure to follow the standard of care, our firm would like to speak with you. We have extensive experience handling birth injury lawsuits. We understand what to look for and how to identify the moments leading up to and resulting in the birth injury.
Our firm handles cases involving cerebral palsy, Erb’s palsy, shoulder dystocia, brachial plexus injuries and other types of injuries. Cerebral palsy is a brain injury that is caused by lack of oxygen to the fetus’ brain. In many cases, a nurse or technician may have failed to notice fetal distress or an obstetrician may have failed to perform a timely Cesarean section. Other injuries can occur because of improper use of a vacuum, forceps or other equipment.
