Connecticut Medical Malpractice & Personal Injury Law

A lack of oxygen to the baby during delivery is usually what causes birth trauma, irreversible brain damage, cerebral palsy and life long disability. Another serious birth injury is Erb's Palsy. Also called brachial plexus injury and shoulder dystocia, it occurs when the baby is too big to fit through the birth canal and there is too much force or pulling on the baby's head and shoulders. This stretches or tears the nerves that go into the arm and hand, causing weakness and paralysis. Not all birth injuries are caused by negligence but we will give you a free confidential case evaluation so you will understand your rights. Your child's statute of limitations may be running, so don't wait to call.

We work on contingency which means there is no fee and you pay no costs unless we first obtain a recovery from those responsible. Birth injury and brain damage cases are very complex and they are expensive to pursue. But, there is no cost to you unless we get a settlement or judgment in your favor.
