Birth Injuries Attorneys

Chicago Medical Malpractice Lawyers

Childbirth is usually an incredibly joyous occasion but, unfortunately, mistakes are sometimes made and birth injuries can occur.  Not only are birth injuries devastating emotionally, but they can also be financially devastating.  A child that suffers from a birth-related injury may require a lifetime of medical care and therapy, which can be extremely costly.  If your baby was injured during childbirth, the Chicago area birth injury attorneys at Ankin Law Offices can help you determine whether medical malpractice was the cause.

Birth related injuries can include:
o    Cerebral Palsy and Other Brain Injuries
o    Forceps Injuries
o    Vacuum Extraction Injuries
o    Brachial Palsy
o    Fractured Bones
o    Facial Paralysis

Birth injuries can occur through no one’s fault but, in some cases, a doctor, nurse or other medical professional is negligent in delivering medical care and the birthing process results in an injury to the newborn.  In these cases, parents may wish to seek compensation and retribution for the pain, suffering and medical expenses that they and their child will suffer as a result of the medical malpractice.

The Chicago area personal injury attorneys at Ankin Law Offices are highly experienced with handling a multitude of medical malpractice lawsuits on behalf of patients, including medical malpractice resulting in birth injuries.  We will consult with the appropriate medical professionals in order to adequately assess your child's injuries and the possible causes of those injuries to determine whether you may have a cause of action for medical malpractice.

If your child has suffered a birth injury, contact our office today and we can help you understand your legal rights and remedies.  If medical malpractice has been involved, we will aggressively advocate on your and your child’s behalf.
