Proving Liability In A Cerebral Palsy Malpractice Case
Our law firm has recovered millions of dollars for our clients, in part through our commitment to educating ourselves on cerebral palsy cases and all other birth injury matters we handle. For example, we know that the most common cause of cerebral palsy is oxygen deprivation and that medical negligence may have included:
- An avoidable delay in delivery or choice of the wrong delivery method
- Failure to intubate promptly enough to prevent permanent fetal brain injury
Demonstrating that a violation of the relevant standard of care occurred almost always requires testimony from a credible medical expert with strong credentials. We have developed strong relationships with physicians who can help us build your case, including neonatal and high-risk pregnancy specialists.
Dedicated to Seeking Maximum Compensation for Each Client
We are also diligent and comprehensive in calculating the full economic impact of cerebral palsy on your life. We may call on life care planners and economists to project the long-term costs of dealing with specific injuries and attaining the highest possible quality of life.
Even top-notch professionals make mistakes. This includes obstetricians and other doctors. While we know the hesitation you may feel about filing a lawsuit for an “honest mistake,” we feel an obligation to put your child’s interest first — and to hold medical malpractice insurers financially accountable.
