Do You Need a Birth Injury Attorney?
Every parent hopes to give birth to a happy, healthy baby. Unfortunately, sometimes that doesn’t happen. Negligence during prenatal care, labor or during delivery can lead to babies being born with cerebral palsy, a head injury or brain damage, or other injuries such as nerve damage.
Or babies may suffer forceps injuries or be disfigured in other ways in the delivery room as a result of medical malpractice or careless procedures that neglect the health of the mother. All these can lead to suffering a lifetime of consequences.
Not all birth injuries or wrongful deaths occur because of medical malpractice. But if you think something just wasn’t right about your delivery and you think your child is injured or disabled as a result, contact a birth injury lawyer at The Law Offices of Dianne Sawaya.
We’ll investigate your case, and put the finest medical experts to work reviewing records and medical procedures. With our economic specialists, we’ll develop a detailed plan for how to provide your child with the years of medical care, education, and other special requirements they’ll need in the future.
With nearly 65 years of personal injury law experience among us, our birth injury attorneys take on negligent doctors, hospitals, obstetricians, midwives, nurses and their insurance companies. If we have to, we’ll take your case to a jury and judge to get the compensation your child deserves.
If your baby has been seriously injured during birth, call The Law Offices of Dianne Sawaya now at (303) 758-4777, or email us for a free evaluation of your birth injury case.
There’s no obligation, and if we work together we won’t charge you a fee unless we get you a settlement or jury award. We’ll do everything in our power to get you and your child the justice you deserve.
