If you are facing the emotional and financial hardships of having a child with a serious birth injury, you could be entitled to compensation for present and future medical costs, pain and suffering, and other damages. Recovering financial compensation when medical malpractice has led to a serious condition is crucial to the future health and care of your child. As a Certified Civil Trial Advocate and Milwaukee birth injury attorney, I will stand with you in seeking justice.

The birth of a newborn baby should be a joyous occasion. Your tiny baby depends on you, especially when unforeseen health conditions arise; a baby injured at birth may face a lifetime of limitations, health difficulties, and challenges. The toll on your family can be overwhelming both emotionally and financially. A newborn requires care during the first few days of life as they are delicate and their bodies and immune systems may be vulnerable to physical damage, viruses or bacteria. There are many causes of birth injuries including:

• Fetal distress
• Breech birth
• Shoulder dystocia (when a baby's head and shoulder get stuck beyond their mother's pubic bone)
• Erb's Palsy
• Cerebral Palsy
• Brain damage
• Brachial plexus injuries

Some of these conditions could have been avoided if the accepted standard of care had been applied by the medical professionals attending the birth.

A serious birth injury may be the result of medical negligence. A medical professional may not have properly screened for preventable complications, or they fail to diagnose or treat problems that may affect your baby's development. They may have failed to realize that your baby was in distress during labor, and taken action too late to avoid the injury. Contact my office today to schedule a free consultation.
