We Understand The Devastation Of Birth Injuries
In such traumatic circumstances when medical professionals have been negligent in their duty of care to infants and expectant mothers, clients depend on legal counsel from Wise Morrissey, LLC. We have the medical malpractice experience to secure appropriate financial compensation for birth injuries and a child’s subsequent medical needs for therapy, surgery or care, even if injuries are not apparent for months or years afterward.
Successful delivery of a healthy child depends on many factors, including the skills used and care taken by doctors and other attendants. An error before, during or immediately after delivery can mean devastating damage to an infant such as:
- Oxygen deprivation that causes brain damage, developmental disorders or death
- Cerebral palsy
- Erb’s palsy and shoulder dystocia
- Meconium aspiration
If your child suffered a birth injury, you need a compassionate, knowledgeable lawyer on your side. Our attorneys are parents, too, and never forget that your family needs a supportive advocate right now. We’ll treat you with care as we pursue full and fair compensation for you.
