A severe birth injury will affect your family for years to come. Not only could it impact your child's ability to live a normal, healthy life, but you may have to worry about medical bills, treatments plans, and additional educational expenses for years. Filing a medical malpractice claim is not a matter of closure. It is a matter of doing everything you can to protect your child and make sure your child has the resources he or she needs.
Birth injuries can result from any number of doctor mistakes or natural causes. We work with a diverse set of medical experts who can help us evaluate your claim and maximize the amount of compensation available to you. We have the experience and the resources to handle all types of obstetric malpractice-related injuries, including:
- Negligently inducing labor too early in pregnancy
- Failure to diagnose fetal growth problems
- Failure to diagnose preeclampsia or pregnancy-induced hypertension
- Failure to diagnose gestational diabetes in the mother
- Failure to conduct a c-section in a timely manner
- Failure to monitor fetal heart rate during labor
One of the most common causes of birth injuries is the failure to diagnose issues that could be easily avoidable. For example, if a mother has gestational diabetes, it could result in difficulty during delivery, causing trauma in the form of shoulder dystocia and Erb's palsy. Similarly, failure to conduct a c-section in a timely manner can cause visual impairment, seizures, brain injuries, cerebral palsy, or even mental retardation or death.
