A Respected West Virginia Birth Injury Law Firm

Our attorneys recognize that parents dealing with birth injuries require more than a lawyer with an extensive background in birth trauma litigation. Our West Virginia birth injury lawyers work closely with our clients to provide an objective perspective on their case. In addition, our firm seeks out some of the countries leading experts to help us prove the cause and effects of birth injuries.

Most birth injuries are cause during the delivery process. However, some are caused during preterm labor or are misdiagnosed or result from untreated preeclampsia. The majority of birth injures caused during the birthing process are related to oxygen deprivation. Doctors will often use the terms hypoxic or anoxic in describing these injuries. Common birth injuries our attorneys can assist with include:

• Cerebral Palsy
• Erb's Palsy
• Traumatic Brain Injuries
• Delayed Cesarean Section
• Placenta Abruption
• Brain Damaged Infants
• Brachial Plexi
• Shoulder Dystocia
• Wrongful Death
• Postpartum Complications
• Fetal Brain Damage

Birth injures can occur throughout the birthing process. Therefore, determining whether the doctor, obstetrician, pediatrician, nursing staff, or the hospital is responsible for the birth trauma can be difficult. Fortunately, there are fairly rigid guidelines regarding fetal well-being. If a fetus is in trouble and a doctor fails to take measures to resolve the problem, medical malpractice results.
