Cerebral Palsy Claims

Philadelphia and Allentown, Pennsylvania and New Jersey

During a mother’s labor, fetal heart rate should be carefully monitored by the doctor and hospital staff. The health of your baby depends on him or her receiving the proper amount of oxygen at all times, both before and during your delivery. Fetal distress is easily detected with modern medical technology. When your baby shows signs of distress, it is the responsibility of medical personnel to act swiftly and accordingly, applying every medical solution possible to ensure a healthy delivery.

Sadly, medical negligence is common during delivery. Inattentive staff and malfunctioning equipment can fail to detect issues such as hypoxia, which can lead to brain damage, cerebral palsy, and even wrongful death. The life-long consequences your child could face due to this type of negligence are overwhelming. You deserve an aggressive birth injury attorney on your side who will fight to ensure the responsible party is held accountable, and that your family receives the compensation they are due.
