Finding answers. Pursuing accountability.

It is overwhelming to learn that your child has a life altering birth injury. It is human nature to want to know more and understand what happened. Our birth injury lawyers will work to help you get the answers you deserve.

While some birth injuries could not have been prevented, many children suffer a birth injury as a result of medical malpractice. Negligence prior to the delivery, during the delivery, or shortly after birth can result in lack of oxygen to the infant's brain causing serious injury. We perform a thorough investigation to uncover all areas of negligence, such as:

• Failure to perform a timely c-section
• Failure to recognize a mother's pelvis is inadequate for natural delivery
• Failure to recognize the large size of a baby and perform a c-section
• Failure to give adequate oxygen to premature infants
• Negligent or forceful usage of forceps or vacuums in delivery
• Failure to recognize symptoms of fetal distress

Maximizing the Value of Your Claim

We utilize life care planners, vocational rehabilitation specialists, medical experts, and other professionals to convey the future impact of a birth injury on your child and your entire family. We utilize attorney Steven Horn's medical malpractice defense experience to effectively prepare a case and recover rightful compensation.
