Did Your Baby Suffer A Birth Injury?

Following the birth of a child, the first thought that crosses a parent’s mind is: “is my baby okay?” While any parent would like to think it’s as simple as counting 10 fingers and toes, sometimes the medical professionals will make unfortunate errors before, during or after delivery which can cause lifelong injury to an individual.

If you believe that you are a victim of negligent medical care before, during or following the delivery of a child, you must protect your rights and the rights of your newborn by seeking legal representation.
