Seeking Compensation for Seriously Injured Newborns
When obstetricians, nurses and other medical professionals do not follow correct procedures and professional standards of care during the labor and delivery process, infants can be left with serious injuries that can permanently harm their development and quality of life.
I am Irwin E. Weiss, an experienced Baltimore birth injury attorney representing clients throughout Maryland since 1978. I have extensive experience as a lawyer for children who have suffered birth injuries such as, but not limited to, the following:
- Cerebral palsy: If your child has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy, there is a substantial possibility that his or her condition was caused by hypoxia (oxygen deprivation) during delivery, which is often attributable to medical malpractice.
- Erb's palsy: When a child is too big to enter the birth canal, the attending physician's failure to follow the correct procedures can result in shoulder dystocia, nerve damage and ultimately the paralytic condition known as Erb's palsy.
If your child has suffered a birth injury, you may have a limited amount of time to pursue compensation for the medical expenses you have incurred as a result. In addition, your child may have limited time to pursue a malpractice claim for the harm he or she has suffered.
I have a track record of helping parents and children obtain fair compensation from Maryland doctors and hospitals in cases involving cerebral palsy, Erb's palsy and other birth injuries.
