Common Injuries From Birth-Related Doctor Negligence
When a doctor is incompetent or negligent during the birthing process, terrible injuries can ensue. When the doctor commits improper fetal monitoring during labor, failure to perform a timely cesarean delivery or improper use of forceps or vacuum extraction methods, the child can suffer:
- Cerebral palsy
- Erb's palsy
- Shoulder dystocia
- Kernicterus caused by high bilirubin
- Hypoxia
- Infections/sepsis
- Fetal distress
- Umbilical cord compression
- Wrongful death
We are well-versed at researching the facts surrounding pregnancy, labor, birth and early moments of life to find the causes of a child's injuries. We understand the complicated scientific/medical warning signs that every doctor should know, as well as the procedures that every competent doctor should follow when these signs appear. If there was any mistake in the care you and your child received, we will find it.
When we find causation in the doctor's negligence, we will do everything we can to resolve your case as satisfactorily as possible. In many cases, we are able to get a good settlement very early in the trial process. In other cases, we need to fight through a trial and possibly even the appeals process. With our more than 25 years of experience, we know when to take a settlement offer and when to push a case deeper into the trial process to make sure our clients are fully compensated.
