Birth Injuries

Philadelphia, Lancaster, Pennsylvania

The birth of your child should be an occasion to celebrate, but when something goes wrong during your labor or delivery that results in an injury to your baby, this beautiful moment can be turned into a nightmare. You may wind up having to care for your child for the rest of their life because of these injuries as dreams of a normal family life fade away.

The experienced Pennsylvania medical negligence attorneys at Atlee Hall, LLP have 30 years of experience helping parents who have struggled with their children’s birth injuries get the monetary compensation they will need to deal with these often life-long medical conditions.

Birth injuries are rare, but not nearly rare enough. Affecting seven out of every one thousand babies in the US, an alarming number of these injuries could have been avoided had doctors and medical staff been attentive or acted according to accepted medical standards.

When your family is impacted by a birth injury, the resulting heartbreak, additional stress, and potential for expensive life-long medical assistance is overwhelming, and may leave you wondering where to turn for help. The medical negligence attorneys at Atlee Hall, LLP are sympathetic to your needs, and will work to get you the full compensation you and your family deserve.

Types of Birth Injuries

When your doctor, hospital staff, and other medical professionals fail to provide the care you need during your labor and delivery, your child may obtain an injury such as:

• Brain injuries
• Cerebral palsy
• Developmental delays
• Erb’s palsy
• Death

Some of these injuries may not be immediately apparent, showing signs only as your child begins to develop as a toddler. Our dedicated team of medical professionals carefully reviews each medical malpractice case we handle, combing through records of your child’s birth to find out how his or her birth injury occurred.

When you are under the care of medical professionals, they have a responsibility to tend to you to the very best of their abilities. When they fail to do so and cause injury to mother or child, they are legally responsible for all of the damages they have caused. These damages may be increased medical stays, future medical costs, and the terrible emotional trauma caused by having a sick child. The medical negligence lawyers at Atlee Hall, LLP aggressively seek full compensation for you and your family.
