An unborn child, like any other human being, is entitled to be free from injury due to medical malpractice.  Since doctors or other health care professionals (nurses and/or midwives) are typically involved in a birth, it is important that they act “with reasonable care” in accordance with the standards of their profession.  If they do not and as a result, the infant is born injured or compromised, the child has a legal right to sue for all his/her damages.

Birth injuries are often the most serious type of personal injury cases because a seriously handicapped or brain injured child is affected throughout his/her life.  Cerebral Palsy (CP) or Erb’s Palsy are two of the most common types of serious birth injuries caused by medical malpractice.  You have ten (10) years from birth to make your claim.

Our office handles many such cases and we have a panel of medical experts available for consultation.  Call us for a free evaluation.
