Knowledge On Your Side
As attorneys for four decades, we have handled cases involving all types of birth injuries and birth defects. Whether your case involves a fracture or a brain injury leading to cerebral palsy, we know what to look for when it comes to holding medical providers accountable for avoidable birth defects and injuries.
There may have been a prenatal condition that was not appropriately diagnosed or treated. There may have been medical mistakes made in the prescribing of medications or during the birthing process. The mother may have required a cesarean section that was not performed.
If a doctor prescribed a drug during your pregnancy that caused a birth defect, you may also have a right to compensation from the pharmacist that filled the prescription or the pharmaceutical company that manufactured the drug in question.
We will carefully go over the details of your case with you and be honest about our expectations for your case. If you have an actionable claim, we will begin by consulting with a medical expert who will review your records. We then can file the certificate of merit that is required by Pennsylvania law in every medical malpractice case.
Although the process can seem daunting, we will explain every step along the way and prepare you for what to expect.
Injuries to the Mother
We also represent mothers who have been injured during or after their pregnancies because of health professionals' errors.
We handle cases that involve failure to diagnose and treat hypertension or infection, accidents that have occurred because of improperly administered anesthesia, injuries that occurred after premature discharge from the hospital, and other situations caused by medical providers' negligence.
