Birth Injury Lawyers

Atlanta, Georgia

Birth injuries are caused by something that goes wrong during labor and delivery. These generally occur when a doctor fails to adequately respond to conditions and complications during a woman's pregnancy or delivery, or when a woman takes a prescription drug during pregnancy that causes harm to the baby.

Unfortunately, injuries made by medical professionals during childbirth can have disastrous effects. Lifelong paralysis, brain injury, and even wrongful death may happen if a doctor does not provide adequate medical care to the patient. Some birth injuries that may occur due to substandard care are:

Bone fractures
Damage to the spinal cord
Paralysis
Infections
Brain damage
Internal bleeding
Injury due to forceps
Cerebral Palsy
Brachial Plexus

In order to bring a birth injury case to action it needs to be proven that the injury was actually the result of negligence and not a birth defect that would have occurred under any circumstances. At Robbins & Associates in Atlanta, Georgia, we have teams of expert medical witnesses who will review the facts of your case. If they determine that the injury was a result of substandard care or advice during your pregnancy or delivery, they will testify before the jury in your case.

If the birth injury lawsuit is successful, and the child is living, damages awarded will typically go to the child, sometimes in the form of a trust administered by the parents. Parents may also be eligible to receive compensation for emotional distress. Your Atlanta personal injury attorneys will advise you on the details of your individual case.

If you believe your child is a victim of a birth injury in Atlanta or anywhere in Georgia, please call or schedule a birth injury consultation with our experienced injury lawyers today.
