Birth injuries can occur before, during and immediately following labor and delivery. Working with a network of independent professionals, our firm thoroughly evaluates your claim to determine if a doctor or nurse error caused the injury.
Types of Birth Injuries
Cerebral palsy is a brain injury that is caused by oxygen deprivation. It is possible to prevent brain injury through proper fetal monitoring, noticing signs of distress in the baby and the mother and performing a timely Cesarean section. Children with cerebral palsy may require a lifetime of care and resources. Our firm seeks full and fair compensation that allows parents and their child to address these needs.
Erb's palsy is an injury affecting movement in the arms, hands and fingers. It can be caused by the improper use of forceps and other errors.
Other injuries can cause harm to the mother or result in learning disabilities, impaired cognition and other problems.
