Birth injuries are serious complications that can occur during the birthing process, potentially leading to lifelong challenges for the child. These injuries can range from minor bruising and swelling to severe, permanent disabilities, such as cerebral palsy or brachial plexus injury.
Client’s case
During a natural birth delivery, the obstetrician tugged too hard on the baby’s head and neck. We claimed that a bundle of nerves were stretched injuring the child’s right arm causing Erb’s palsy. An initial offer of $1,000,000.00 was rejected and we aggressively continued to litigate retaining prominent experts. The case settled in Orange County before we began to select a jury.
Despite the initial lowball offer, we remained steadfast in our pursuit of justice for the injured child. By diligently gathering evidence and securing expert testimony, we were able to demonstrate the negligence of the obstetrician and the significant impact of the injury on the child's life. Our aggressive litigation tactics ultimately led to a substantial settlement, underscoring the importance of seeking legal representation in such cases.
