Legal Help for Cerebral Palsy and Birth Injuries Victims
Cerebral palsy resulting from doctor, hospital or nurse errors during birth occurs with surprising frequency, despite many fine obstetricians. But, how can you prove your child's symptoms are a result of medical malpractice, and who can provide legal representation that will lead to deserved and needed financial compensation?
Attorney John Obert-Hong has been involved in medical malpractice cases, related to birth injuries and cerebral palsy. The reason? Dr. Obert-Hong is an experienced medical malpractice lawyer and a board certified practicing doctor.
Dr. Obert-Hong in his medical career has delivered hundreds of babies, and is fully aware of the range of errors medical professionals can make during delivery that can lead to cerebral palsy, including errors relating to:
- Hypoxia/failure to prevent a lack of oxygen to the baby's brain.
- Failure or delay to perform a C-section.
- An infection during or after pregnancy.
- Inappropriate use of forceps or manipulation.
- Overmedication.
- Failure to properly monitor a fetal heart tone and rate.
When an infant or child exhibits signs of cerebral palsy, we can skillfully review medical and birth records to identify medical errors that likely lead to current physical, mental and cognitive problems. Does your child exhibit the following medical challenges?
- Mental Retardation.
- Seizures.
- Blindness.
- Physical disabilities, including difficulty walking and using arms.
We can review your case and determine whether doctors, nurses or others failed to respond in an appropriate manner to medical red flags, failed to notice your baby was in trouble, failed to read fetal monitoring strips or otherwise erred when delivering your baby.
