Birth Injury
Chicago Birth Injury Lawyer
Representing Clients throughout the Chicago, Illinois, Area
A single moment of negligence during pregnancy or delivery can result in a lifetime of impairment. As an experienced Chicago birth trauma lawyer, I have years of experience assisting clients with medical malpractice lawsuits involving birth injuries.
Medical Negligence
Serious birth injuries such as shoulder dystocia, cerebral palsy, Erb's palsy, hypoxia, anoxic brain injury, or other birth injury can result from many negligent acts of a doctor, such as:
-
Failure to recognize pregnancy complications
-
Failure to do a pelvic assessment to realize the large size of a baby, resulting in shoulder dystocia, or vacuum or forceps injury
-
Failure to diagnose breach birth or footing presentation
-
Failure to notice signs of fetal distress and do a timely C Section, resulting in lack of oxygen
-
Failure to recognize umbilical cord complications
-
Failure to diagnose a high risk delivery and transfer to appropriate facility
-
Failure to use reasonable care during delivery such as rushing delivery or improperly delaying delivery
Birth Injury Lawsuit Representation
As an experienced Chicago birth injury attorney, I work to obtain compensation for damages such as pain and suffering, loss of a normal life, shortened life expectancy, and others. I utilize medical experts to testify as to the cause of injury or wrongful death and to explain how the doctor acted negligently or without reasonable care. I also utilize life care planners to determine the future economic costs of caring for an individual who has suffered a birth injury.
