Nashville Lawyers: Obstetric Malpractice and Delivery Room Errors

The birth of a child should be one of the happiest moments in any parent's life.

If your child suffered a serious birth injury or died as a result of medical malpractice, call the law firm of Kinnard, Clayton & Beveridge at (615) 686-2501 for the dedicated support and dedicated representation you need.

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. Cerebral palsy, Erb's palsy (shoulder dystocia), scarring, disfigurement and even death can result from improper use of vacuum extraction equipment, forceps injury or other medical mistake, negligence or mistreatment.

In addition, failure to properly monitor fetal health during pregnancy or position during delivery can contribute to fetal hypoxia, cerebral anoxia, hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy and other birth injury due to lack of oxygen and/or the failure to perform a Caesarian section when necessary.

If your child suffered brain damage, injury to the brachial plexus or other nerve damage, or any other negligent injury during pregnancy, delivery or post-partum period, you may have strong case for a medical or obstetric malpractice birth injury lawsuit. The experienced attorneys at the law firm of Kinnard, Clayton & Beveridge are here to help.
