Missouri Medical Malpractice Law Firm: Birth Injury

Our proven trial attorneys have a long record of verdicts and settlements in medical malpractice, including recoveries for birth injuries:

  • Cerebral palsy (brain injury affecting motor skills or cognitive function)
  • Other brain damage from oxygen deprivation
  • Erb's palsy or Klumpke's palsy (nerve damage or paralysis in the hand or arm)
  • Failure to treat complications of premature birth (lung function, jaundice)
  • Failure to diagnose hemorrhage, pre-eclampsia or gestational diabetes in the mother

Medical malpractice requires evidence of judgment errors, improper delivery technique, failure to recognize fetal distress or failure to adhere to accepted medical standards. We work with top medical experts who can review the medical records and determine what went wrong. Many birth injuries result from failure to anticipate a cesarean section or failure to perform an emergency C-section. Brachial plexus injuries such as Erb's palsy often result from undue force or improper use of forceps or suction when the baby's shoulders are stuck in the birth canal.
