Birth Injury Lawyers

The birth of a child is usually a celebrated event, full of exhilaration and an optimistic affirmation of a bright future. 

Most often, physicians, nurses and midwives usher in that blessed event providing excellent care with happy results. Expectant parents should be kept informed of their baby’s condition and the doctor’s plan to manage the delivery. The health care providers have a duty to provide reasonable care in managing labor and assisting in delivery.  If they fail in that duty, however, the results can be catastrophic.

Negligent failure to monitor and respond to the baby’s distress, or improper and excessive use of force in delivering the baby can interrupt or prevent oxygen flow to the brain, or damage muscles or nerves in the baby’s neck, shoulders or arms, leaving the child permanently and severely impaired.
