New York Birth Injury Attorney
For many people, the most precious moments in their life are the few moments during birth when their child is brought into the world and they become new parents. However, negligence that occurs before birth, during delivery, or shortly after birth can result in a birth injury that will impact the infant's life, and the life of the family, forever.
At Tolmage, Peskin, Harris & Falick, we help families find answers about what happened to their child and help them learn how to move forward. We offer advice and guidance through the process of obtaining rightful compensation. Contact our birth injury lawyers for assistance in New York City, including Manhattan, Staten Island, Queens, Brooklyn, and the Bronx.
When a child suffers a birth injury, such as cerebral palsy (CP), erbs palsy, or shoulder dystocia, it is often a result of some form of negligence, such as:
- Failure to observe the fetal monitor
- Failure to perform a c-section
- Failure to provide adequate prenatal care
- Failure to use forceps or vacuum instruments appropriately
- Failure to recognize hypoxia, anoxia, or symptoms of fetal distress
We hold obstetricians, doctors, nurses, other medical staff, and the medical facility accountable when their negligent actions result in a birth injury. We investigate the incident reviewing hospital policies, medical records, and other information. We utilize leading medical experts to determine if the care provided was substandard and therefore medical malpractice.
We act quickly to preserve evidence, such as medical records, before they are tampered with or destroyed. We utilize all means necessary to obtain rightful compensation which can reduce financial strain on the family and enhance the infant's future. We offer compassion and support while aggressively pursuing justice. Speak with our experienced birth injury attorneys at Tolmage, Peskin, Harris & Falick. Call us toll free at 877.298.3201.
