Your California Birth Injury Lawyer is as traumatic as a serious birth injury. These injuries often occur when doctors fail to take reasonable care during labor and delivery. Such errors can turn a joyful occasion into one of the most traumatic moments of a parent’s life, and they can have long-term impacts that can dramatically alter a family’s quality of life.

It is important to speak to a experienced California birth injury lawyer as soon as possible in order to protect your legal rights. The complexities of these cases, the massive costs that can accrue, and strict legal time limits make working with a skilled medical malpractice attorney an imperative step.

The legal team at Heimberg Barr LLP understands the nuances of these complex cases and how best to build a strong case on behalf of our clients. We can help you secure the financial compensation that you deserve to cover all of your child’s losses and expenses.

What are common causes of birth injuries?

The most common causes of birth injuries involve medical negligence. This can include a doctor failing to diagnose preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, or other conditions that could harm the mother or baby; a physician failing to perform a C-section in a timely manner when there is fetal distress; or the use of delivery tools like forceps or vacuum extractors in a way that can cause physical injuries to the infant.

In order to secure the compensation that you deserve, we will gather and review medical records, hire expert witnesses, identify policies and procedures violated, and collect witness testimony. A successful claim can help ease your financial burden and give you closure for this painful chapter of your family’s life.
