Taking Powerful Action on Behalf of Those Injured in Labor or Delivery

Pregnancy is a time of joyous anticipation of the new arrival. For most parents, the thought that their child will be injured in labor or delivery does not even enter their minds. Tragically, some children are victims of catastrophic brain injuries at birth. Although some of these injuries are simply unavoidable, in other situations, the injuries were caused by the actions or inactions of medical professionals.

If your child suffered a brain injury in labor or delivery and you have reason to believe that medical malpractice caused this injury, it is vital that you talk about your child’s situation with an experienced lawyer. For decades, the attorneys of Rosenberg, Minc, Falkoff & Wolff LLP have helped families get the financial compensation they need after a brain injury at birth.

Many different conditions can lead to birth injuries, including:

• Twisting or compression of the umbilical cord
• Anoxia (no oxygen)
• Hypoxia ( oxygen deprivation)
• Forceps injuries
• Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE)
• Delayed birth

Whatever the situation, you can depend on our law firm to thoroughly investigate your case and work hard to recover complete compensation.
