We Help Link Your Child’s Injury to Negligence

• improper use of medication to control contractions

Our team knows how to handle a birth injury case. We will gather evidence relating to your child’s prenatal care, delivery, post-delivery treatment, and treatment for the effects of the birth injury to establish the doctor’s negligence. This evidence might include:

Determining Whether Your Doctor Was Negligent

Many pregnancies are high-risk. Doctors have an obligation to do everything in their power to ensure your and your baby’s safety. If you were a high-risk pregnancy and delivered vaginally because the medical professionals failed to order a C-section, or the doctor made another mistake, you deserve to recover compensation for your damages. Regardless of whatever complications arise before and during your delivery, your medical team has a responsibility to respond with the appropriate treatment to make childbirth as easy and safe as possible for mother and child. They must perform the appropriate medical interventions to eliminate, or at least lessen, any problems.
