Birth Injury
Our birth injury attorneys understand the trauma that unexpected complications during the delivery process can bring to expecting parents. Injuries to children during the birth process frequently form the basis for a special type of medical malpractice case, and our birth injury lawyers are experienced in this specialized area of law. Infants too frequently suffer brain damage, respiratory problems, shoulder dystocia, cerebral palsy, or other injuries with lifetime implications. Birth injuries are not always manifested early in a child’s life. When circumstances warrant, our firm will accept a case and monitor it to see how the child develops.
If you suspect that your child’s harm suffered was the result of negligence, you should consult with an experienced firm of birth injury attorneys. Our lawyers can evaluate your case even if all the injuries and damages are not yet known. The statute of limitations for the parents’ claim for loss of consortium (love, care, affection) may be different from the statute of limitations for the medical negligence involving the injured infant. Delay in raising a birth injury claim may limit or prevent recovery.
