Medical Malpractice
Birth Injuries
A birth injury is caused to a baby's body before, during or immediately after birth. When a complication arises during pregnancy or during labor and delivery, doctors and nurses must act quickly, making sound decisions that keep a newborn safe and healthy. At Weaver and Young P.C., we help parents of newborns who have suffered a birth injury. Our firm seeks compensation that gives parents the resources to provide their injured child with the best care possible.
If your child is the victim of a birth injury, contact an attorney from Weaver and Young P.C. Our firm offers a free initial consultation with no fees unless we win.
We Have the Time and Resources to Handle Your Case!
Most law firms are unable to provide the time and resources necessary to effectively handle a birth injury lawsuit, specifically as it relates to obstetric malpractice. Our firm has the experience and financial resources that are needed to go against hospitals, physicians, and their large insurance companies. Our firm has secured verdicts in excess of $20 million. We handle a small number of cases at any given time. This provides each client with a very personalized level of attention. Our firm's successes are rooted in the way we approach each injured client and their concerns as we seek fair compensation. We have handled birth injury cases related to:
- Shoulder injuries
- Collarbone injuries
- Failure to perform a C-Section
- Brain damage, including cerebral palsy
- Forceps injuries
- Compression of the umbilical cord or nuchal cord
- Lack of oxygen
