Birth Injuries Due to Medical Negligence or Malpractice in Alabama

The birth of a child is a joyful and much celebrated event. Tragically, that joy may be eclipsed when a child is injured at birth due to the negligence of a medical professional.

A child’s brain or nervous system may become impaired if he fails to receive adequate oxygen during delivery. This impairment is known as Cerebral Palsy. The improper use of forceps may lead to nerve damage to a child’s face. These injuries and others may be the result of substandard or negligent medical care.

Malpractice: Deviation from Accepted Standard of Medical Care

During a confidential free birth injury consultation, you can share your special situation with us and ask us questions about your child’s case. We will obtain and review the medical records and proceed with a thorough investigation of your baby’s birth injury.

We may also consult with a team of medical experts, to help us determine if the health professional or medical facility deviated from the accepted standard of care, and if that deviation led to the injury of your baby.
