Call Us at 1-866-586-1910 for a Free Case Evaluation
Although we provide dedicated representation in any kind of serious birth injury case, most of the cases we see involve the two most common serious conditions that are known to be caused by delivery room errors:
- Cerebral palsy, a serious neurological condition often caused by fetal hypoxic brain injury (brain damage caused by lack of oxygen) and resulting in lifelong physical and mental deficits and developmental difficulties
- Erb's palsy (also known as shoulder dystocia) caused by damage to the nerves of the brachial plexus during delivery, often as a result of failure to diagnose or properly treat poor fetal position during birth
Child development does not happen over night. The signs of a serious birth injury like cerebral palsy or Erb's palsy can take months or years to diagnose. Our firm will be with you throughout the process and will stand by your side for years if necessary.
We are willing to invest whatever time and money it takes to build a compelling case and to secure the compensation and ongoing support you need to pay for life-care planning and even full-time care for the rest of your child's life if necessary. Call 1-866-586-1910 or e-mail a medical malpractice attorney now to receive a free case evaluation.
It's the One Thing Parents Most Often Want to Know: What Really Happened?
Unfortunately, most doctors and hospitals are so afraid to admit that a mistake was made that parents feel left in the dark about the cause of their child's birth injury. At the Law Offices of Dallas W. Hartman, one of the most valuable services we provide is to investigate what happened. We do our best to get you the answers you deserve.
Some of the most common doctor and OBGYN mistakes that cause birth injury include:
- Failure to perform a Cesarean section (C-section) in a timely fashion
- Improper use of forceps or vacuum extractor
- Improper fetal monitoring or missed signs of fetal distress
- Improper or negligent postpartum care
If you need answers and an attorney with a history of obtaining real results for parents of a child who suffers from a serious birth injury, contact Dallas today.
