Experienced Ohio Birth Injury Attorneys
The birth of a child should be a joyous event. However, mistakes can be made by medical professionals. Preventable and critical mistakes in childbirth can cause irreversible brain damage, including cerebral palsy, to infants. Many birth injuries affect children for the rest of their life, creating severe emotional, medical, and financial hardship for families. When a birth injury occurs, it is important to contact an experienced and successful birth injury attorney to evaluate your situation and help you obtain the compensation you'll need.
The attorneys at Lancione & Lancione specialize in birth injuries and have obtained many multi-million dollar settlements and verdicts for the families of children born with cerebral palsy and disabilities due to medical malpractice. Birth injury cases are extremely complex and difficult to prove. Lancione & Lancione is familiar with all types of preventable errors including:
- Failing to correctly monitor, identify or react to fetal distress. This can result in loss of oxygen to the child's brain and cause cerebral palsy, brain damage and other injuries.
- Failing to have the proper emergency safeguards in place. An emergency C-section is a common method of delivery. When a medical caregiver fails to prepare for emergencies, the resulting delay in childbirth can cause severe brain injuries, including cerebral palsy.
- Mishandling an infant with shoulder dystocia. In childbirth, an infant's shoulder can be become lodged in the mother's pelvis. Not using the proper care and procedures in delivering a baby with shoulder dystocia can stretch the brachial plexus, which is attached to several nerves that enter the base of the skull. A child born with brachial plexus injuries can suffer Erb's palsy, Klumpke Palsy and other disabilities, including cerebral palsy.
- Serious errors in prenatal care, including misdiagnosing gestational diabetes and other pregnancy conditions, which can result in babies who require specialized care in childbirth.
- Administering incorrect medication, errors in inducing labor, or misusing instruments of childbirth can all result in damage to infants.
Our three generations of Ohio birth injury lawyers have successfully settled innumerable birth injury cases, as well as winning many birth injury malpractice verdicts.
