Birth Injury Lawyer in Macon

A birth injury is defined as damage that occurs as a result of physical pressure during the birthing process. Sometimes, a birth injury can happen because a healthcare professional failed to meet a standard of care to ensure a safe and healthy delivery. 

The most common types of preventable birth injuries handled by our attorneys include:

• Asphyxia;
• Bone Fractures;
• Cerebral Palsy;
• Facial Paralysis;
• Spinal Cord Damage;
• Brain Injury;
• Erb’s Palsy;
• Dejerine-Klumpke Palsy;
• Umbilical cord strangulation or injuries; and
• Internal Bleeding.

It is important to contact an attorney specialized in this area of law to help determine the cause of your baby’s injury. Our birth injury attorneys in Macon will work alongside medical experts to determine whether medical malpractice partially, or completely, caused your child’s injury.

To determine this, we will examine your medical records and look into diagnostic tests, electronic fetal monitor strips, the use of birthing tools, and other factors of the pregnancy and delivery.

If the medical expert believes that the doctor failed to meet the standard of care when delivering your child, a birth injury lawsuit may be viable.

Because each birth injury lawsuit is different, damages will vary between cases. You may be able to recover compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and other economic and non-economic damages.

We understand that raising a child with a birth injury can take a financial and emotional toll on your lives. That is why we will fight to lessen your financial burden by holding the negligent party accountable. 

You can count on us to fight for full and fair compensation. We never settle for anything less. In fact, our birth injury attorneys have recovered multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements.

Because birth injury lawsuits can be complex, it is important to hire a skilled attorney. Because the statute of limitations in Georgia only allow parents a specific window of time to take legal action, you should contact an attorney as soon as possible.
