Medical Negligence
Serious birth injuries such as shoulder dystocia, cerebral palsy, Erb's palsy, hypoxia, anoxic brain injury, or other birth injury can result from many negligent acts of a doctor, such as:
- Failure to recognize pregnancy complications
- Failure to do a pelvic assessment to realize the large size of a baby, resulting in shoulder dystocia, or vacuum or forceps injury
- Failure to diagnose breach birth or footing presentation
- Failure to notice signs of fetal distress and do a timely C Section, resulting in lack of oxygen
- Failure to recognize umbilical cord complications
- Failure to diagnose a high risk delivery and transfer to appropriate facility
- Failure to use reasonable care during delivery such as rushing delivery or improperly delaying delivery
Birth Injury Lawsuit Representation | Evanston, Illinois
As an experienced Chicago birth injury attorney, I work to obtain compensation for damages such as pain and suffering, loss of a normal life, shortened life expectancy, and others. I utilize medical experts to testify as to the cause of injury or wrongful death and to explain how the doctor acted negligently or without reasonable care. I also utilize life care planners to determine the future economic costs of caring for an individual who has suffered a birth injury.
