When Does A Birth Injury Result From Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice means that a medical professional’s negligence caused injury to a patient. Several types of mistakes (considered to be medical malpractice) made by doctors or nurses can lead to birth injuries. Our attorneys have obtained notable recoveries for different types of medical negligence, including cases involving infants and newborns:

• Brain damage (cerebral palsy) from oxygen deprivation during childbirth
• Nerve damage (Erb’s palsy) when extracting a baby stuck in the birth canal
• Untreated complications of premature birth or neonatal care

We review the medical records with experts who can attest that the obstetrician (OB-GYN) used improper force or the wrong technique, failed to perform a C-section in time, or otherwise caused or allowed the injury. We also hold nurses, technicians and hospitals accountable for tragic outcomes from failure to identify fetal distress or failure to monitor newborns.

Do You Suspect Malpractice?
