Eugene Birth Injury Lawyer
Springfield Brain Injury Attorney
Was your baby really born with a birth defect? Perhaps not. It is an unfortunate fact that many conditions seeming to be birth defects are actually preventable birth injuries. These birth injuries are neither congenital nor due to difficulties encountered during pregnancy; rather, they can result from negligent delivery procedures or insufficient monitoring of vital signs.
If your child was born with cerebral palsy or Erb's palsy, or suffered other severe injuries during delivery, Johnson, Johnson, Larson & Schaller, P.C. can help you fight for the financial compensation you are entitled to. Contact us at our Eugene, Oregon, offices for a free consultation.
Hold Responsible Parties Accountable
Birth injury cases can be difficult to litigate and prove due to the fact that many problems can be explained by circumstances or plausible theories that tend to absolve the defendant physician or hospital from liability. At our firm, however, our painstaking and meticulous development of expert evidence necessary to support an obstetric negligence or malpractice claim has, in the past, achieved remarkable results by settlement or verdict.
Over the years, our experienced attorneys have successfully represented families in personal injury cases involving birth injury problems such as:
- Group B streptococcus infection during delivery resulting in permanent disabilities
- Cephalohematoma, or bleeding in the brain, caused by improper use of the vacuum extractor or forceps
- Uterine rupture or a catastrophic tearing of the uterus into the abdominal cavity
- Cerebral palsy often caused by an extended period of insufficient oxygen to the brain of a fetus
- Erb's palsy, also known as brachial palsy, involving permanent nerve damage to the neck or shoulder of the fetus
AT Johnson, Johnson, Larson & Schaller, P.C., we have handled enough birth injury cases to understand how difficult it is for parents whose hopeful anticipation of childbirth has been marred by avoidable accidents that will present lifelong challenges for the entire family. At the same time, we have yet to meet parents who love any less their injured child.
