Chicago Birth Injury Attorneys

The birth of a baby often requires the assistance of an experienced medical professional to ensure the delivery is a success and your child is born healthy. However, if your medical practitioner fails to recognize the early warning signs of fetal distress, fails to act to prevent serious damage, and/or behaves in a way that causes significant injury to your child, the results can be devastating.

The Effects of Birth Injuries
While birth injuries can occur as a natural part of the birthing process, when a physician or medical professional is responsible for a preventable birth injury, you may seek compensation for any harm they caused. Trauma to the infant before, during, and after delivery can result in serious injury, including:

• Brachial Plexus Injuries (including Erb’s Palsy and Klumpke’s Palsy)
• Cerebral Palsy
• Brain Injury
• Facial Paralysis
• Cephalohematoma
• Uterine Rupture
• Spinal Cord Injury
• Cranial Nerve Injury

Proving a medical practitioner’s negligence can be difficult. The doctors and their insurance carriers will typically claim that the birth injuries already occurred in utero and that there was no way to avoid them. However, our Chicago birth injury attorneys will utilize careful investigation, diligent research, and credible expert testimony in order to prove a medical practitioner’s negligence.

Whether your child has suffered from a brain injury, cerebral palsy, or Erb’s Palsy, our Illinois birth injury attorneys are prepared to fight for justice on behalf of your child and any birth injury he or she may have sustained as a result of a negligent physician’s behavior.
