Benefits of Filing a Birth Injury Lawsuit

There is nothing quite as tragic as a newborn baby suffering permanent physical and mental disabilities. Instead of a future full of opportunity, they are now facing a life full of challenges. While a birth injury lawsuit may not be able to reverse the harm done to your child, it can help provide for the care they'll need both now and in the future.

When medical incompetence results in a birth injury, you may be eligible to recover compensation for the following expenses, and more:

• Medical treatment
• Physical therapy
• Specialized education
• In-home care
• Loss of quality of life
• Pain and suffering

The Savannah birth injury lawyers at Tate Law Group are determined to recover the compensation you and your child deserve after being harmed by medical negligence. We've helped clients just like you secure favorable results in Georgia and across the United States.

Birth Injuries That Can Occur During Labor or Delivery

Medical personnel attending any birth are trained to monitor and handle any problem related to the labor and delivery. When they fail to respond properly to a baby or mother in distress, or even notice signs of distress, life-altering injuries can occur.

Types of birth injury cases we've represented include:

• Cerebral palsy
• Shoulder dystocia
• Brachial plexus injuries
• Bell’s palsy, which is facial nerve damage
• Erb's palsy
• Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE)

If your child has been diagnosed with any of these conditions, or suffered another type of birth injury, we encourage you to contact our law firm as soon as possible. These cases are very complex and involve the use of medical experts which means you will want the most competent legal team you can find.

Common Causes of Birth Injuries

The labor and delivery process can involve many complications and if the attending physician doesn't properly monitor the baby and mother then both of them can suffer serious injuries.

Some of the most common causes of birth injuries are:

• Failure to monitor fetal heartrate or oxygen levels
• Failure to order a timely C-section
• Using excessive force when the baby is lodged in the birth canal
• Failure to diagnose or treat a maternal condition such as preeclampsia or infection

At Tate Law Group, LLC we have been widely recognized for our quality of work, integrity, and experience in medical negligence cases. We know how to investigate these cases and find the truth of what really caused your child's injury.
