Birth Injuries

The miracle of birth is a physiological process that poses serious risk of injury to both mother and child. With proper medical care and monitoring during the gestational, birthing and postpartum stages of the pregnancy, most birth-related injuries can be avoided. Unfortunately, thousands of birth injuries occur each year due to medical errors either in the delivery room or during prenatal care.
​

Long hours, understaffing, and other problems that plague the American healthcare system, can result in medication errors and inadequate responses to birth complications. These mistakes often have devastating consequences in the delivery room. To make matters worse, medical and insurance company lobbyists have been successful in their efforts to make birth injury lawsuits and other types of medical malpractice claims very difficult win.

Helping You Obtain the Resources Your Child Will Need in the Future:
Birth-related injuries such as Cerebral palsy, brain damage, and shoulder dystocia  impose a huge financial burden on families. In most cases, there are permanent, ongoing health care needs as well as significant quality of life issues.  When these injuries are the result of a doctor's failure to monitor for signs of fetal distress or to perform a C-section in a timely fashion, I have the skills and resources necessary to hold them accountable.
 
Because most medical malpractice cases do not settle out of court, I work with well-qualified physicians and other medical specialists to evaluate the medical records and prepare the case for trial. As part of that process, I engage other experts as needed, including economists, accountants, and professional life care planners to develop an accurate assessment of the financial needs.
