Birth Injury Due to Medical Malpractice
The lifelong consequences of birth injury resulting from medical
negligence can be devastating to both the infant and to the family.
Such cases therefore are some of the most challenging. They are also some
of the most difficult and expensive to pursue. Our firm is justly proud
of its success in prosecuting such claims.
There are many possible causes for birth injuries, including:
- Failure to timely perform a C-Section to remove a baby in distress
causing oxygen deprivation.
- Failure to give oxygen to a premature newborn needing help breathing
after birth.
- Failure to diagnose and treat an infection in the mother causing
the child to be injured.
- Failure to use proper techniques in delivery to avoid permanent injury
to the infant’s upper extremities.
In pursuing such claims we retain the finest obstetricians, neonatologists,
neurologists, and others to prove medical liability. We also
consult the most current medical literature available.
In addition to proving the negligent cause of injury,
birth trauma cases also require sophisticated presentations to prove damages.
Lifelong care is often required for such children, including medical care,
psychological care, and rehabilitation. In such cases our firm retains
the services of expert life care planners and economists to secure maximum
recoveries. We also employ such financial instruments as medical trusts
and lifetime annuities to insure that funds are available to care for
the child throughout its life.
The vulnerability of our infant clients requires special attention. And
we are firmly committed to providing that service.
If you believe your child may have been the victim of birth trauma
negligence contact us as soon as possible. |
