Our Tennessee medical malpractice lawyers bring experience, empathy and skill to every birth injury case we take on. We understand the extraordinary tragedy your family has suffered, and we will fight for justice and fair compensation for the enormous costs that you will likely incur as a result of your child's birth injury. A birth injury due to negligence or malpractice on the part of an obstetrician-gynecologist (OB-GYN), a delivery room nurse or a doctor can have life-altering consequences that include:
- Cerebral palsy
- Erb's palsy (shoulder dystocia)
- Spinal cord injuries
- Scarring
- Disfigurement
- Wrongful death
These injuries can have any of a number of causes, like improper use of vacuum extraction equipment or forceps, the failure to properly monitor fetal heartbeat, umbilical cord compression, errors during cesarean delivery and other forms of medical negligence.
If your child suffered injuries during the pregnancy, delivery or post-partum period as a result of a doctor's negligence, the medical professionals responsible should be held accountable for their actions. Let us help you.
