Birth Injury

Birth injury is a particularly troubling example of medical malpractice. Our birth injury attorneys have handled litigation for many families profoundly affected by substandard medical care during childbirth and the serious injuries it can cause.

Some of the most frequently discussed birth injuries include nerve damage and brain damage resulting in cerebral palsy, Erb’s palsy, and similar conditions. Conditions such as these cause motor control problems and other physical impairments. The cost of raising a child with cerebral palsy to adulthood has been estimated at near $1 million. The costs associated with many other birth injuries are not far behind.

However, the real tragedy of a preventable birth injury caused by medical malpractice is the effect that injury has on a child's growth, development, and on his or her entire life. Many of these children might have grown up healthy if they had received proper care as infants. Instead, these children face long-term disabilities, pain and a lifetime of expensive medical treatments simply because their health care professional acted improperly.
