Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral Palsy is both an incurable and debilitating disability, and one that with greater oversight during birth, could have been prevented. While most physicians are meticulous and painstaking during childbirth, a solitary blunder can lead to a life of perpetual struggles for the newborn infant.

You and your child should never have to suffer so profoundly because of dangerous incompetence during the baby's birth, especially when such a catastrophe could have been averted. When your child’s health is compromised in such a destructive fashion, legal recourse can be one of the few methods of protection for you and your child.

If your child has been diagnosed with a condition like cerebral palsy, you deserve the guidance of a knowledgeable attorney now. Your family deserves compensation for the profound pain that you have been forced to endure. Call today.

Wrongful Life

Childbirth is a long, complicated and sometimes dangerous process and proper prenatal care can allow parents to determine if their child will be stricken with any number of life-altering complications. These complications can result from a number of different situations, and are easily spotted by qualified medical personnel.

If the medical personnel fail to notice and inform the parents of serious complications then they are possibly in violation of their legal rights. Some states mandate that doctors must tell parents of potentially serious complications and present alternatives to giving birth to a suffering child who will never experience a full quality of life.

If you believe that your doctor failed to adequately advise you of your child’s condition you may have a right to explore your legal options. Contact an understanding attorney today.

Spina Bifida

Spina bifida is a type of birth defect caused when a vertebra fails to close completely around the spinal cord, which then causes it to deform. This condition can cause a wide number of problems later in life - some relatively minor and some gravely severe.

Most states have laws that require doctors to inform parents if their child suffers from spina bifida. If these medical professionals do not notice the condition or fail to present the alternatives to the parents they can sometimes be held responsible for their negligence.

If your child suffers from spina bifida you may have the right to seek compensation for your pain and suffering. Don’t wait – make sure to contact a compassionate, dedicated, and experienced birth defect lawyer today.

Group B Strep

Group B Strep is one of the most common causes of infection in newborn babies, which can lead to death or serious long term complications for many children.  Proper screening and testing can often reveal the presence of this bacteria, which is present in almost 25% of women in the United States.

This bacterial infection can cause the newborn to suffer meningitis which increases the likelihood of brain damage, which in turn can lead to cerebral palsy.  Group B strep is easily prevented through antibiotics with ample time to prevent birth complications.

If your child suffered serious medical consequences because your doctors failed to properly screen for group B strep you may be entitled to seek compensation for your pain and suffering.  Make sure to contact a compassionate and dedicated birth injury attorney today.
