A birth injury attorney known for results can help you recover financial compensation for the full extent of your child’s injuries. This includes medical bills, ongoing treatment costs, home care expenses, lifelong therapy and rehabilitation, loss of earning potential, and more.
Most birth injuries are preventable. When doctors, nurses, nurse midwives, paramedics, family practitioners, pediatricians, anesthesiologists, and other medical professionals fail to exercise reasonable care during pregnancy, labor and delivery, or the postnatal period, they may cause severe, permanent injury. These injuries are often the result of obstetric malpractice or negligence.
