Proving that your child suffered an injury is rarely a serious obstacle in a medical malpractice case involving cerebral palsy, Erb's palsy or shoulder dystocia. The main problem is to show that the negligence of the obstetrician, anesthesiologist or any other member of the delivery team was a significant cause of the medical condition.
We review each birth injury case with outstanding medical specialists to see whether the evidence leads to a conclusion of negligence or departure from a recognized standard of care before, during and after delivery.
Our team will consider such factors as the improper use of forceps during a difficult breech delivery, failure to monitor the vital signs that could indicate hypoxia or fetal distress, or failure to order a c-section in time to prevent serious birth complications.
Some of the more common birth injuries we evaluate involve cerebral palsy, the eye problem known as retinopathy of prematurity, nerve damage in the neck or shoulder, and brain damage related to interruption of oxygen to the fetus during a complicated delivery.
We advise and represent medical malpractice clients in the Harrisburg area and throughout central Pennsylvania. For additional information about our experience with birth injury claims, contact a lawyer at Shollenberger & Januzzi in Enola.
