Birth Injuries
Turlock Medical Malpractice Attorney
Among the many different types of medical malpractice claims, birth injuries tend to be some of the most common. Just as in any medical environment, physicians, nurses and other medical professionals who treat pregnant mothers are required to uphold certain standards of care and treatment. When they fail to do so, act negligently and cause injuries to either newborns or mothers, parents have legal recourse to hold health care providers liable and recover damages. Some common examples of birth injury claims are:
- Facial paralysis, bruising and forceps marks
- Fractures
- Erb's palsy
- Cerebral palsy
- Brachial palsy
- Brain trauma
- Injuries to mothers
Birth injuries can occur during the course of a pregnancy, during birth or in the immediate handling of a newborn. Our legal team is prepared to work with other medical professionals to determine the extent of negligence involved in your birth injury situation and how it occurred.
Our Record of Success
The same skills and dedication that we apply to all personal injury claims we undertake have proven effective in successfully resolving birth injury cases. In fact, one of our most significant recoveries involved a birth injury claim in which we represented a pregnant mother who underwent a tubal ligation operation. As a result of the physician's negligence, our client's child was born with severe and life altering genetic defects. Through our abilities to clearly prove that the operation was performed improperly, our firm was able to obtain $1,050,000 in damages for our client.
