Birth Injury Lawsuit and Litigation

Unfortunately, infants can and do get injured during birth, leading to serious birth injuries that can require years of exorbitant expense to provide proper care. The attorneys of Greg Jones & Associates can investigate the birth injury of your child to determine if there may be grounds for a birth injury lawsuit.

Some causes that may lead to a birth injury lawsuit

In the course of the investigation for a birth injury litigation, we examine whether any of the following may have caused your a birth injury to your child:

• Breech or other unusual position of the baby
• Oxygen deprivation, often caused by a compressed or twisted umbilical cord or when there are problems with the uterus or the placenta
• A large baby, which may cause the baby to be stuck behind the pelvic bone of the mother or cause excessive force upon the baby during birth

In situations where the size of a baby, or its position, is problematic, a physician may incorrectly deliver by natural birth instead of a C-section. This decision may result in nerve damage and conditions such as Erbs palsy. We look into the possibility of bringing an Erbs palsy lawsuit or beginning Erbs palsy litigation. Cerebral palsy is another disorder that can arise from improper birthing techniques and that can give rise to a cerebral palsy lawsuit.

Seizure disorders, mental retardation, and learning disabilities are other birth-related impairments and conditions that we can examine. The attorneys of Greg Jones & Associates stand by your side each step of the way should we find sufficient evidence to bring a birth injury lawsuit.

Do not wait to investigate the filing of a lawsuit

There are time limits in every state for filing a malpractice lawsuit against health professionals for birth injury. The disorder your child suffers may be the result of natural occurrences, but if you find that the condition is due to birth injuries caused by the errors of a health care professional or hospital, you need to contact an attorney as soon as possible to begin the birth injury litigation process.
