The birth of a child should be a joyous event and a high point in your life. When that birth turns to tragedy due to a doctor’s negligence, we are ready to help you pursue the maximum financial compensation available.

Decisions related to how the baby will be born, either through C-section or a vaginal delivery, must be made with all the facts. The life of the mother and the unborn child are at stake. The doctor must determine before the birth if the mother is in good enough health to deliver. During birth, the baby must have a sufficient supply of oxygen. A careless doctor applying more force than what is necessary can deplete the oxygen and cause immeasurable damage. Brain damage can occur when suction or forceps are used improperly.

Birth injuries that result in cerebral palsy, Erb’s palsy, or hypoxia involve a very specific type of personal injury litigation. Attorneys that represent the doctors in these cases are usually seasoned and learned. Proving a birth injury can be extremely complex and requires overcoming numerous obstacles. Our firm has an established track record in overcoming those challenges and achieving favorable results for our clients.

Our attorneys will not shy away from a battle if your baby was injured or the mother suffered serious trauma or passed away during birth.
