Our firm has represented many children who suffer from various forms of Cerebral Palsy and Erbs Palsy.
We have recovered millions upon millions of dollars in damages for these children and have seen to it that special trusts are set up so that the child's lifetime needs for medical care or custodial care are financially planned.
Unfortunately, there are times when the birth of a baby and all the joy and promise of a newborn are forever damaged because of medical and hospital malpractice. If this has happened to you or someone you love, our birth injury lawyers can help.
During pregnancy, labor and birth, a doctor, nurse or hospital employee has a responsibility to the mother and her baby to monitor and manage their medical conditions. When a doctor, nurse or hospital employee fails to provide reasonable care, a baby can suffer a lack of oxygen, infection or trauma, all of which can cause damage to the very delicate brain of a baby and can cause permanent lifetime consequences. When this happens, a patient will sometimes receive the excuse that there has been a "complication," which can be nothing more than a cover up of negligence.
To determine whether or not you have a birth injury malpractice case, you need to consult with a lawyer. Please consider consulting with us. We are experienced lawyers who can help you find out if you have a case and we can get you and/or your baby the compensation you both deserve.
We have settled multi-million dollar cases involving cerebral palsy and brain injuries to children living in New York City, Long Island and Westchester. In one case, we successfully brought a lawsuit against a Suffolk County clinic and its physicians who failed to properly and timely perform a caesarean section to protect the baby against a lack of oxygen.
Multi-million recoveries for children who were injured during labor and birth at hospitals in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx and Queens have provided financial support for medical care, custodial care, housing, and special housing needs such as wheel chair access, bathing and bathroom needs and sleeping arrangements. This money provides parents with the assurance that their son or daughter's life will remain safe and secure even when the parents are no longer around.
We have also established special Supplemental Needs Trusts for these children which can allow money to go into a trust to be spent only on the child's needs, while also preserving eligibility for federal or state funding such as (SSI) or Medicaid health coverage.
If your child suffered a birth injury that may have been preventable, please call or e-mail us today. One of our experienced New York birth injury lawyers will evaluate your case for free.
