Medical Malpractice

The medical professionals who treat your child could have an enormous impact on the future of your family. If they make a mistake that results in birth injuries or defects, it could mean years of financial difficulties and a lifetime of physical as well as emotional stress for your infant.

Birth injury attorneys can help you bring a case against the people who are responsible for your child's medical issues, whether it is a hospital or doctor that made a mistake in the labor and delivery process or if the cause of the birth defect of your child was something that occurred to your baby prior to birth.

Defective Drugs

Unfortunately, these medical conditions are extremely costly. Parents often ask how their child's condition occurred and what to do when the bills pile up for costly treatments and procedures.

If you believe that the birth defect in your child's baby is linked to a specific drug, start by documenting your symptoms and keeping medication packaging and receipts.
