New Jersey Birth Injury Lawyers
If your child has suffered a birth injury, you want more than just compensation. You want justice, and you want answers. You want to know what caused the birth injury. Investigation is critical in these unique medical malpractice cases. It can also be challenging, depending on the details of the case. Often, birth trauma does not reveal itself immediately after childbirth. The signs appear a few months, or even a few years, into the child's development. Documentation may not be reliable and witnesses' memories may not be clear.
At the Ferrara Law Firm, LLC, our attorneys understand the challenges we face in determining the cause of a birth injury. We understand how to overcome them. We have been representing parents throughout New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania for more than 30 years. In that time, we have recovered millions of dollars in compensation for victims.
Common Causes of Birth Injuries
Unfortunately, some of the causes of childbirth injuries are issues we see over and over again. For example, one of the common causes is doctors failing to notice indications of problems. This is inexcusable, considering the technology available today to make certain that issues that occur during pregnancy, labor or childbirth are addressed immediately and appropriately. When doctors fail to use the technology available, or fail to use it appropriately, they should be held accountable for the results.
C-section errors are also common in birth injury cases. Errors include doctors performing C-sections incorrectly, as well as doctors failing to perform C-sections when necessary.
Working With Medical Experts
In these cases, we augment our knowledge of medical malpractice law with the knowledge of various medical experts. Whether a case involves cerebral palsy, shoulder dystocia, Erb's palsy or any other birth defect, we will bring in the appropriate expert to help us carefully review each situation and build a strong case to get compensation for the victim.
