Birth Injuries

Did Your Child Suffer a Birth Injury in Indiana?

Contact Golitko Legal Group

When a newborn baby suffers from cerebral palsy or shoulder dystocia, medical personnel may tell you that it was an "act of God" or an unpreventable "accident." In fact, a detailed investigation may reveal that your child was a victim of medical malpractice at some point along the way:

During prenatal care, doctors and nurses may have ignored warning signs in the ultrasound or overlooked risk factors that might have pointed to the advisability of a planned C-section.
During labor, attendants or doctors may have failed to pay attention to the fetal monitor which should have alerted them to a lack of oxygen or other fetal trauma that put the baby at risk of brain damage.
During delivery, the attending obstetrician may have neglected to apply well-known maneuvers that could have prevented injury to the baby's shoulder and arm, including broken bones or nerve damage.
After delivery, failure to properly monitor the newborn baby's bilirubin could have been the cause of neurological damage such as kernicterus.

After a birth injury, many parents want and need answers to questions such as the following:

How and why was the child injured?
What could have been done to prevent the injury?
Is there any therapy or treatment available that will help the child to overcome or develop more normally despite the birth injury?
If medical negligence was to blame, how can the doctors or hospital personnel be held accountable, to help the family pay their medical expenses and prevent future harm to other babies at birth?
What are the long term affects of the injury?

Discuss your questions such as these — and the process involved in seeking compensation — with an experienced medical malpractice attorney at Golitko Legal Group after your baby has suffered a birth injury.

Did your obstetrician fail to perform a C-section in a timely manner when warning signs indicated the need for intervention during birth? Talk to an experienced Indiana lawyer regarding the possibility that medical mistakes harmed your baby before, during or shortly after birth. We have an on staff Nurse Attorney to answer your questions. Contact us by phone or e-mail.
