Birth Injuries

Legal Help When Negligent Medical Care Has Resulted in a Birth Injury

Brain Damage · Cerebral Palsy · Shoulder Dystocia · Infant Death

The time just before and during childbirth is one of the most critical—and dangerous—periods in life. So many things can go wrong. That's why medical professionals receive highly specialized training to prepare them to detect and manage problems that can occur during this sensitive period.

Tragedies do happen, even with the best medical care available. But medical personnel should not contribute to tragedy through negligent acts or a failure to act on important information.

At the Denver medical malpractice law office of Elkus & Sisson, P.C., our personal injury lawyers help grieving parents get financial compensation to provide for their injured children if a medical provider was at fault.

Do You Suspect Negligence Contributed to Your Child's Birth Injury?

It can be difficult to discern if your child's injuries were caused by a medical condition, a difficult birth, negligence, or other medical error. Your new baby’s needs—especially if your child has a serious birth injury—may take all of your time. We encourage you to talk to a skilled medical malpractice attorney if you have any suspicions concerning your child's birth injuries.

Your initial consultation is free, so you have nothing to lose by gaining a better understanding of the situation. Our medical malpractice attorney can give you a better idea of whether you have a medical malpractice claim for birth injuries, or may ease your mind that everything was done to protect your child.

If we suspect you do have a claim, we will carefully and thoroughly review the medical information. We will consult medical experts to gain a clear understanding of proper, standard medical treatment for the situation you faced, and we'll aggressively present your case in court, if necessary. We have helped families bring birth injury claims for:

• Cerebral palsy when medical personnel did not act promptly when the baby's oxygen supply was disturbed during birth
• Shoulder dystocia
• Failure to treat pregnancy complications
• Failure to remove the child correctly, causing brachial plexus injury or shoulder dystocia
• Failure to respond to a fetal monitor when it showed fetal distress, leading to oxygen deprivation and brain damage
• Failure to promptly deliver a child when mother or child were in distress

If your case is one of medical negligence, your financial recovery may pay for your child’s special needs, therapy, and equipment.
