Birth Injuries

The birth of a child is a miracle. Unfortunately, it can also be a source of a great deal of emotional and physical trauma when medical malpractice occurs. When an obstetrician, nurse, or doctor fails to provide a standard and acceptable level of medical care, you or your baby may suffer a serious birth injury that can affect your family for years and years to come. A lifetime of medical treatment may be looming in your future. Your child may not have the chance at a normal, healthy childhood that he or she should have.

Take legal action and hold the negligent medical professional responsible for their actions. A Michigan personal injury attorney at Freedman Law Group can assist you in reviewing your options and then bringing a claim or lawsuit against the doctor, nurse or other professional that caused your child's injuries. With 59 combined years of legal experience and a personal, professional approach, our attorney is more than qualified to offer you the representation you need. Some of the types of birth injury claims our firm can handle include:

• Cerebral Palsy
• Erb's Palsy
• Brachial Plexus Injury
• Premature Delivery
• Delayed C-Section
• Pulmonary Hypertension
• Brain Injury
• Developmental Delays
• Mental Retardation
• Paralysis
• Shoulder Dystocia

In any natural birth, there is always some chance of trauma. However, your doctor should understand what to do in the event of a difficult birth, including advising a cesarean section as soon as possible if it becomes apparent that this may be necessary. Any delay, mistake or wrongful act can affect you and your child for life. You have the right to work with a lawyer and take action against the doctor for what he or she has done.
