Errors before, during and after birth

Birth injuries are injuries that occur before, during or immediately after birth. OB nurses are often given the duty to watch fetal monitoring strips and to notify the physician when the fetus is in distress. Failure to monitor a fetus' vital signs or failure to notify the attending physician of the fetus' distress can result in serious brain injury. Other injuries and complications can occur by mistakes involving crimped umbilical cords, failure to perform Caesarean sections in a timely manner and other acts of negligence. Our firm represents parents and their newborns whose birth injuries include the following.

• Brain damage
• Cerebral palsy
• Shoulder dystocia
• Erb's palsy

Injuries to babies can result in neurological damage, cognitive impairment and other conditions that may require lifelong care either by a parent or home health aide. Our firm seeks compensation that provides families with the financial resources to pay for the proper care for the child and give their child the best life possible.
