When a baby is injured during the birthing process, it causes a time of celebration to suddenly turn tragic. Beyond the immediate devastating loss of health is the monumental economic task of the family to raise a special-needs child. We have found that the more devastating and costly the injury, the harder the health care providers and their insurers fight to oppose a just and fair recovery. In the case where medical negligence permanently injures an infant, the future medical bills and life care plan are routinely expected to exceed millions of dollars. Nothing can be more vital to the future of an injured infant than the fullest compensation for the child's future care and well-being.
All birth injury cases are handled on contingency. We do not get paid until you do.
At the Law Office of Tom Kemmy, we understand how difficult and painful it can be when your child is seriously or fatally injured. Our practice has spent more than 25 years successfully representing the victims of negligence and medical malpractice during childbirth. We are devoted to fighting for the highest possible compensation due under the law.
Birth Defects
The first question every parent asks is whether a birth defect was preventable. Was there a problem that was overlooked or ignored? Was there a condition that could have been treated during the pregnancy?
Usually, the doctors involved will insist the situation was unavoidable. If that does not seem to make sense, contact us to discuss the details of your situation. We will answer any questions you may have and provide an honest evaluation of your case.
Childbirth Injuries
There are a wide variety of serious and potentially fatal injuries that can occur during childbirth, such as fetal distress, umbilical cord entrapment, placental abruption/abrupted placenta, injury due to forceps, shoulder dystocia, spinal cord injuries, paralysis, brain damage, cerebral palsy, brachial plexus and internal organ injuries.
When a child is injured during childbirth, the family is often left with more questions than answers. Is the injury permanent? Will the child require special long-term care? How will we pay for the medical bills? Was it preventable? If your child was seriously or fatally injured during childbirth, contact an experienced medical negligence attorney to discuss your options.
