ATTORNEYS FOR CHILD BIRTH
INJURIES IN NEW ORLEANS

If you are concerned that your child’s injury or an injury to the birth mother may be due to medical negligence, you deserve to find out what happened.

Over the years, I’ve heard the many defenses that medical professionals give, such as:

• The doctor did not believe the delivery would happen so soon, so they were not present.
• The hospital had no backup for the absent doctor.
• The nurses on duty failed to notice the telltale signs of fetal distress.
• Or, the doctor should have performed another procedure to protect the child and mother.

• Birth injury or trauma resulting from improper or aggressive use of forceps or suction, which may result in Erb’s Palsy. And if your baby was diagnosed with Erb’s Palsy, what are your legal rights?
• Vaginal birth after a cesarean section resulting in a hysterectomy, a ruptured uterus due to a VBAC, or even the death of the birth mother;
• A delay in diagnosing fetal distress occurred, even though fetal monitoring information was readily available.
• Too long a delay in performing a C-section causes injury to the baby.
• Spinal cord damage or brain injury resulting from lack of oxygen – known as brain hypoxia;
• Hospital and Physician mistakes that cause cerebral palsy
• Premature births caused by a urinary tract infection, incompetent cervix, or other conditions that should have been identified and treated to avoid a pre-term birth;
• Bleeding in the brain, lung problems, internal bleeding, or Necrotizing enterocolitis (a bowel infection) resulting from an unnecessary premature birth;
• Failure to diagnose a birth mother with gestational diabetes;
• Failure to identify macrosomia, which is a recognizable pre-birth condition where the child’s head and shoulders are too big to pass through the birth canal.
• Cerebral Palsy;
• Shoulder Dystocia diagnosis, which is an injury to the baby caused by the shoulders getting stuck during delivery.
