Chicago Birth Injuries and Birth Trauma Attorney
Fortunately, most deliveries occur without any birth injuries and performed by very competent obstetricians. Birth injuries can occur without any fault, however some birth injuries are the result of physician, nursing, or hospital negligence.
Birth injuries, occurring at the start of life, can cause serious damage and emotional injury to both the baby and to parents. Yet birth injuries can be very difficult to prove.
Babies develop slowly, and cognitive, sensory and even motor issues can be hard to detect for months or even years. Once suspicion turns to certainty in parents' minds, they are often left with confusing questions. Is this issue related to birth errors that occurred long ago? Can current medical issues be conclusively tied to past birth procedures? And who can best advocate for my rights and the rights of my child?
At the Chicago law firm of John Obert-Hong & Associates, we can provide experienced legal help. Principle firm lawyer John Obert-Hong is both an experienced medical malpractice attorney and a board-certified, licensed and practicing physician who has delivered hundreds of babies.
