The birth of a child is a joyous occasion. Sometimes, however, childbirth is accompanied by the discovery of an unexpected and serious birth injury. Some unexpected birth injuries could have been avoided or minimized through greater medical precautions. Other birth injuries may have been caused by the use of prescription medications during pregnancy. An experienced birth injury lawyer can evaluate the cause of your child’s birth injury and determine whether you and your baby may be entitled to compensation.

A birth injury lawyer should investigate if your baby was born with:

Cerebral Palsy
Erb’s Palsy
Spina Bifida
Cleft Lip and/or Cleft Palate
Brain or Spinal Damage
Limb or Skeletal Growth Problems
Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension
Heart Defects
Other serious birth injuries or birth defects
