St. Louis Birth Injury Lawyer

Have you or your child suffered a birth injury?

It may come as a surprise to learn that a substantial number of births in the United States result in injury to the child, the mother, or both. These injuries can be very minor or very serious, and include everything from light bruising to bone fractures to death. They can have life-long implications for both the child and the parents, and carry severe emotional repercussions for both, in addition to the physical consequences which will inevitably be encountered. In many cases, a child can be left suffering from mental retardation or other substantial behavioral maladies, such as when there is brain damage caused by an extended period of oxygen deprivation during the birth. While many birth injuries occur as an unavoidable natural incident, such as births in which the child is facing the wrong way in the womb, there are unfortunately numerous examples of birth injuries that are brought about by medical negligence on the part of the attending doctors or hospital staff. 

If you or your child has sustained injury during the birthing process, then you may be entitled to compensation from those negligent parties. Contact a St. Louis personal injury lawyer who can work to establish liability in your case and provide you with representation in court.
