Brain Injury at BirthBirth Injury Lawyers Serving the Washington D.C. AreaThere are many examples of poor medical care that can result in serious injury to a baby. If an obstetrician fails to recognize signs of fetal distress during labor, fails to take the appropriate steps when shoulder dystocia occurs during delivery, or uses forceps or a vacuum improperly during delivery, the results can be tragic. The child frequently suffers injury, and often the mother suffers neurological injury or even death during delivery. When such injuries occur, the law requires that the negligent physician be held responsible for the damage that his or her poor medical care caused. At Schultz and Trombly PLLC, our attorneys work hard to obtain compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, and other costs resulting from negligence resulting in birth injuries. (For more information about the legal aspects of Birth Injuries, please visit our Birth Injuries Information Center and our other Birth Injury page.)
