A birth injury can result in overwhelming emotional, physical and financial burdens for victims and their families. Additionally, mounting medical costs and lifetime convalescent care are sure to rise above the means of the average family. The devastation is even more traguc when your child has needlessly suffered or continues to suffer due to negligent or irresponsible behavior by an obstetrician or other medical professional.
Medical negligence occurs when a healthcare professional's performance falls below the acceptable standard of care expected in the medical community. Our birth injury attorneys have years of experience in handling these types of cases and can determine whether your child was injured due to medical malpractice.
