California Birth Injury Lawyers

Practice Area : Medical Malpractice

Three out of every one hundred children born in the United States will suffer from a serious birth injury. Although most birth injuries are unavoidable due to the size of the baby or the placement of the baby in the birth canal, some could have been prevented in the absence of a mistake or negligent act on the part of the physician and others could have been prevented with adequate care to the expected mother during pregnancy and delivery. If your newborn has suffered serious birth injuries as the result of a mistake or negligence by a physician, you should hire an experienced California birth injury attorney from Gillin, Jacobson, Ellis & Larsen immediately.

Most doctors do excellent work most of the time. In those unfortunate situations that errors or mistakes made by doctors take place in the context of pregnancy, labor and delivery, the result can be devastating birth injuries. In many of those cases if the doctor had followed proper procedure, been attentive, and acknowledged signs and signals which should have been immediately responded to, there is a chance that the birth injury could have been avoided. Some specific errors which may cause an infant to suffer from serious injuries may involve problems with amniocentesis, misuse of forceps, untimely delivery, improper prenatal assessments, and medication errors.

Listed below are just a few of the serious birth injuries that can occur:

  • Brachial Plexus
  • Brain damage
  • Cerebral Palsy
  • Fractured bones
  • Head injury
  • Injuries caused by forceps
  • Internal organ bleeding
  • Paralysis or nerve damage
  • Severe infections
  • Spinal cord injury
