If Your Child Suffered Because of Medical Negligence, We Can Help
When a child suffers a birth injury, it can be hard to get a straight answer from the doctor or the hospital as to what happened. Many times, the parents suspect that a physician, nurse or hospital is to blame for their child's injury, but the evidence can be difficult or impossible to find without help.
Cases of birth injury or birth trauma caused by medical negligence can be very complex and may require extensive investigation and dedicated work on the part of a knowledgeable, experienced attorney and top-quality independent medical experts.
The personal injury trial lawyers at the Law Office of Vikas Bajaj, APC, represent individuals and families in San Diego and neighboring Southern California communities who have suffered due to medical malpractice and labor and delivery negligence that results in any serious birth injury, including:
- Cerebral palsy caused by traumatic or hypoxic brain injury prior to, during or following childbirth
- Shoulder dystocia, brachial plexus injury and improper delivery practices that result in a lifetime disability such as Erb's palsy
- Failure to diagnose fetal distress or hypertension
- Forceps injuries resulting in facial paralysis, hematoma or brain damage
- Failure to perform or accurately interpret prenatal screening for serious or life-threatening conditions
- Wrongful death as a result of negligent care or monitoring before, during or after birth
In a large number of cases, the failure to respond appropriately to signs of fatal distress or to perform a timely C-section is to blame for the most serious birth injuries. Children who have suffered catastrophic birth injuries due to a mistake or negligence of this kind often require expensive lifetime care. We are dedicated to helping our clients obtain the compensation they deserve and to seeing to it that a settlement or jury verdict provides a lifetime of support and recovery.
