Philadelphia Birth Injury Attorney

About Cerebral Palsy, Erb's Palsy & Other Birth Injuries

During pregnancy and childbirth, many women across Pennsylvania and the rest of the nation trust their lives and the lives of their unborn children to doctors and medical professionals. They often do not think about the mistakes that can be made or the unfavorable outcomes that can occur if a small mistake is made by any person at the hospital. Unfortunately, doctors do make mistakes that can cause detrimental harm to children and their families. Some of most common forms of birth injuries include cerebral palsy, Erb's palsy, and broken bones. Many cases of wrongful death during or after child birth due to a doctor's negligent actions have been noted as well.

Birth Injury Lawyer Serving Philadelphia, PA

Filing a personal injury claim or medical malpractice claim can be very complex; you may have insurance companies pressuring you to accept an early claim or you may have a doctor looking to prove you wrong. It is important to speak with your birth injury attorney before making any decisions, talking to any insurance companies or the doctor's lawyers, or accepting a settlement. Medical malpractice claims are among some of the highest paying personal injury settlements, mostly because the person who is injured or ill will require extensive medical treatment and possibly lifelong health care. Directly because of this, a doctor will seek legal advice as well and attempt to have their lawyer offer the patient a smaller settlement. The doctor knows that if the case is taken to court or expands at all, they may lose their practice and millions of dollars in the process.

Our personal injury law firm strongly urges you to come forward if you believe that you may have a claim. Not all birth injuries or illnesses are the result of a negligent doctor, and you will need an attorney to help you prove that the doctor's actions led directly to these injuries. Without this proof, your case may fall through the cracks and you may be left paying the extent of the expenses out of pocket.
