Of every one thousand children born in the United States, five will suffer some type of birth injury. Atlanta birth injury attorney Glenn L. Goodhart, M.D., J.D. recognizes that a preventable error is inexcusable, particularly in cases caused by negligent labor and delivery performed by a physician or midwife.
Atlanta Medical Malpractice Lawyer
Insurance companies attempt to deflect Atlanta birth injury medical malpractice lawsuits by portraying potential litigants as greedy and claim that lawsuit case numbers are soaring. Don’t buy into that lie. Along with medical malpractice, the so-called soaring numbers include other cases, such as vehicular accidents and divorce suits. Seeking restitution is not greedy or selfish. Rather, the wrongdoer is being held accountable for preventable injury. Additionally, you do the general public a great deal of good by exposing mistakes and halting the poor practice rather than just sweeping it under the rug for the next person.
Depending on the facts of your particular case, whether it addresses brain damage caused by a failure to timely diagnose or treat a serious illness or condition or your case involves other birth injuries to the mother or child, we will approach your claim with one goal in mind: secure justice for the right of compensation for our clients who have been violated. We know the questions to ask, such as: Was an internal fetal heart-rate monitor used? Was it used correctly? Was the labor or delivery error due to mechanical failure? Our experts will read and interpret monitor strips, as well as obstetric and pediatric records, including hospital/birthing center personnel.
