Causes Of Maternal Injury And Birth Injury
Birth injuries have many causes, including failure to monitor, failure to timely deliver, failure to act on problems revealed by a heart rate monitor, misdiagnosis of uterine rupture and failure to identify maternal problems in the pre-natal period.
We have the knowledge and resources to investigate your specific case and work to pinpoint the exact cause of the injury affecting your family.
Legal Experience And Medical Background
Founding attorney Jeffrey C. Anderson has the medical background and legal experience to understand the issues in each case and to make a strong claim for compensation. Parents may need extensive resources after the birth of an injured baby. Obtaining compensation for the future medical needs of their child relieves parents of financial worries and allows them to concentrate on helping their baby.
If your child suffered an injury at birth, or if the mother was hurt because of medical negligence, you may have a strong case for compensation. We have helped many families obtain the payment they need to move forward.
Birth injuries also happen in VA medical facilities and military hospitals. If you need a Texas attorney to initiate a federal tort claim, we can help you file Standard Form 95 (SF95) and build a case for compensation.
