Southeast Michigan OB/GYN Malpractice Attorney
The birth of a child is a monumental event that brings on anticipation, hope and joy to a family. When there are mistakes in the labor and delivery process and a newborn is profoundly injured, hope and joy can be replaced by sadness and fear. If your child has suffered grievous injuries in labor or delivery, you can be left wondering what happened, and what you can do to give your child the best chance to flourish.
If you believe that malpractice by a doctor, nurse or other medical professional led to your child's injuries, you need to speak to an experienced medical malpractice lawyer. At Dib, Fagan & Brault, P.C., attorney Albert Dib has served many victims of medical malpractice, including children who have been injured as a result of obstetric malpractice. Our law firm is able to help you recover damages for any kind of situations, including:
- Cerebral palsy
- Hypoxia (the fetus does not receive sufficient oxygen)
- Anoxia (the fetus does not receive any oxygen for a significant period of time)
- Wrongful death of the child or the mother
- Brachial plexus/shoulder dystocia
- The failure to perform a Caesarean section (c-section)
Gathering All the Evidence to Show What Happened
Every expecting mother in labor should be connected to a fetal monitor. The fetal monitor provides nurses and doctors with information about the baby's heart rate. When these professionals interpret this information correctly, they can make quick decisions as to whether a Caesarean section or other measures are necessary. When this information is not interpreted correctly, serious injury or wrongful death can ensue.
If your child has been injured, we will fully evaluate your child's injuries to show how malpractice has forever changed the trajectory of your child's life. We will use experts, such as neonatalogists, life care planners, economists, psychiatrists and other experts, to show your child's damages. We will also use a "day in the life" video to show the opposition and a jury how medical malpractice has impacted your child's life.
Medical malpractice, particularly malpractice involving birth injuries, is a highly specialized field. You cannot afford to trust your child's claim to anyone other than the most experienced medical malpractice lawyer.
