Birth Injuries
Complications during birth do occur, but when they affect the intelligence,
neurological system, or ability of your baby to live a normal life,
then you need a top personal injury law firm with the experience
to investigate it. We do that by ordering medical records and reviewing
them with one of our trusted medical doctors specializing in OB/GYN,
many of whom hold teaching positions in medical schools.
If your child suffers from Cerebral Palsy and Erb’s Plexus Palsy,
know that these are two of the major types of birth injuries.
- Cerebral palsy is a condition in which there was a reduction in
oxygen to an infant's brain at any time prior to birth.
If your child suffers from cerebral palsy, we can investigate
the birth records of your child to see if medical error occurred.
- Erb's palsy occurs when during the delivery of a baby
excessive force is used which causes trauma to the baby's body.
In rare instances, the baby's shoulder during delivery cannot pass
through the mother's pubic bone and the doctor uses excessive force
to get the baby out. Rather than exploring other options,
such as a Cesarean section or changing the baby's position
during delivery, the obstetrician commits a lifelong error
at that time.
The settlement value or jury verdict award on any birth injury case
is high because of the value of the future care and medical treatment
of the child for his entire life expectancy.
