Portland Birth Injury Attorneys

Experienced Oregon Accident and Injury Lawyers

It is estimated that approximately 3 in every 100 births will result in some form of serious birth injury. A birth injury could leave your child needing medical care for the rest of his or her life. At our firm, our Portland injury attorneys are committed to helping those whose children have suffered birth injuries due to medical malpractice. We know that there is little we can do to provide you comfort at this time, and so we strive to provide aggressive and effective legal representation in order to hold the doctor, nurse or other medical professional who was responsible for the birth injury liable for their actions.

There are a number of reasons that a birth injury can occur. Complications may arise during the pregnancy or during childbirth. If the doctor does not recognize these for what they are and act quickly to provide acceptable medical care, this may be a form of negligence that could lead to serious birth injury. An incorrectly estimated due date, an improperly performed cesarean section or an undiagnosed medical condition can cause serious injury or even cause an infant to lose his or her life. Cerebral palsy, erbs palsy, brachial plexus injury, paralysis and brain injuries are all birth injuries which may occur.

The birth of a child should be a joyous occasion for the parents. When a doctor or other medical professional involved in the delivery is negligent in their treatment, diagnosis or care, this can quickly turn a happy event into a disaster. By consulting a lawyer immediately and finding out what you can do to bring a claim against the person or medical care facility responsible for your child’s injuries, you will have the best opportunity of bringing them to justice and ensuring that your child receives compensation for medical care, future medical treatment and more.
