Birth Injuries

Birth Injury Attorneys

There is nothing more tragic than a baby being injured at or immediately after birth. The birth of a child is normally a life changing experience for a parent, however the birth of a handicapped child requires major adjustment. When the illness or injury was caused by medical negligence during birth, parents often have nowhere to turn to find out what they can do. At Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, P.C., our lawyers have been helping families whose lives have been turned upside down by a catastrophic birth injury. For more than 25 years, we have understood that what should have been a joyful experience can become an event full of uncertainty, fear, and doubt. Who will pay for the care the child will need - perhaps for a lifetime? What medical specialists can help my child? Our attorneys can help you answer these questions.

Call Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, P.C., to schedule a free initial consultation to learn how we can help.

We keep clients informed about the progress of the case

Birth injuries, such as cerebral palsy and other brain injuries, serious lacerations, and shoulder dystocia, can be caused by a wide range of negligent acts during and before birth. We also have helped families whose baby was not properly examined before birth, and who was born with a genetic defect that might have been repaired in utero. Other cases involve:

• Failure to monitor during birth
• Failure to perform a c-section in a timely way
• Failure to use established maneuvers to turn baby in birth canal
• Misuse of forceps
• Injuries to the baby caused by improperly attached monitoring devices
• Failure to diagnose fetal distress

In addition to obtaining money damages and compensation for parents whose child has been injured because of preventable errors such as these, our lawyers have experience with wrongful death lawsuits on behalf of parents whose baby died during birth as a result of medical negligence. We know that money cannot bring back your child. However, it can provide some measure of relief, and send a strong reminder to the medical community that they must adhere to a higher standard of care.
