Birth Injury Lawyer in Irvine

Negligence in birth injury cases manifests in various forms. It could be inadequate prenatal care, delayed C-sections, improper use of delivery tools, or even failure to monitor fetal distress. Whether or not you suspect negligence, you should have your case reviewed by a birth injury specialist from our team to establish the facts.

Hospitals may be held liable for birth injuries if their staff acts negligently, usually by deviating from the expected standards of care in this profession. This can include errors in monitoring the mother and baby, miscommunication among healthcare professionals during the childbirth process, and failure to provide the proper medication.

In addition to hospitals and healthcare providers, there have been cases where pharmaceutical companies (if a medication caused harm) and medical device manufacturers have been held liable for birth-related injuries. Depending on the nature of your case, you may also be able to take legal action against third parties, such as laboratory services, involved in the birthing process.

Cerebral palsy, brachial plexus injuries, brain damage, and spinal cord injuries, are the most common examples of birth injuries that can have long-term effects on the victim. These conditions can lead to developmental delays, physical limitations, and a lifetime of medical needs, which is why you need an experienced Irvine birth injury lawyer to help maximize your claim. 

The effects of birth injuries are usually felt long after the victims leave the hospital. So, when fighting for your loved one’s right to compensation, you deserve a lawyer who understands the importance of securing the kind of compensation that helps your loved one live a normal life after a birth injury. That’s one of our biggest traits at Morgan and Morgan, the nation’s largest plaintiffs' firm.
