Birth Malpractice

Birth injuries may result from negligent pre-natal care, injuries during delivery, failure to perform a Cesarean section, or failure to provide medical care to the newborn baby. Birth injuries from medical malpractice can be catastrophic and permanent, and may result in developmental delays, neurological injuries or death. All too often families of children with devastating outcomes in hospitals do not obtain the right answers. While nothing can undo the harm that was done to your child, in most cases we can at least find out what happened through a careful examination of medical records and by consulting medical experts. I am a licensed physician/surgeon and attorney involved in the medical care of adults and children for nearly 30 years. Additionally, I have training in a busy obstetrical program in NYC having a delivery on the average of every 45 minutes. Furthermore, I have been in the operating room performing surgeries on ill babies and children and have an understanding of the proper standard of care required. Having a physician and lawyer involved early in these circumstances clearly has its benefits. Malpractice only occurs when a doctor or hospital staff members do not follow the accepted standard of care. If your child’s injury was due to obstetric medical malpractice, filing a legal claim can help you obtain the money you will need to take care of your child now and in the future. By holding doctors and hospitals accountable, pursing a malpractice claims can also help prevent similar tragedies from happening to other families.
