Did Medical Negligence Cause a Birth Injury to Your Child?
It's not easy to tell when a birth defect or early childhood disability reflects genetic causes or negligence on the part of a medical professional during delivery. To get answers to your questions about your child's cerebral palsy or developmental problems through infancy, contact a knowledgeable medical malpractice lawyer at Huber & Palsir in Philadelphia.
Medical Malpractice Is a Common Cause of Birth Injury to Newborns
Despite decades of medical advances, some of the risks of childbirth remain for both mothers and infants. At Huber & Palsir, we help parents find out just what happened in the delivery room or neonatal care ward if their children have been born with serious medical conditions ranging from fetal distress to cerebral palsy.
Our attorneys work with highly qualified medical professionals from each of the specialties involved with childbirth — family medicine, obstetrics, surgery, anesthesia, nursing and others — in order to find out just what happened.
Did the attending physician disregard signs of fetal distress? Did the obstetrician ignore indications that a c-section was indicated to deliver a large fetus? Did improper delivery technique cause shoulder dystocia, Erb's palsy or other nerve damage? Our work with experts can provide answers to these essential questions.
We work to prepare and develop the evidence sufficient to establish the likelihood of medical malpractice as a causal factor in birth injury cases before we even file the lawsuit. At the same time, we keep our client families closely involved in our investigation, and we do everything possible to help them meet the practical challenges presented by a difficult birth.
