Birth injury cases are heartbreaking. To see an event which is supposed to be the happiest day of a parent’s life turn into a frightening and painful experience is absolutely devastating. By handling the medical malpractice claim and holding the doctor, nurse or hospital responsible for their actions, we at Ellerin Hutchinson hope to help families through this ordeal. Our staff can handle a number of birth injury claims, including those involving cerebral palsy, erbs palsy, premature delivery, paralysis, hypoxia and more.

The Responsibility of the Doctor

In caring for a pregnant woman and delivering her child, a doctor has a responsibility to provide proper care, fast. This means that if a complication does arise, that the doctor should make a fast decision regarding what to do, and then do it. A doctor’s hesitance, failure to recognize a symptom, or simple mistake can lead to a serious birth injury that will have lifelong effects on the baby. This is why we believe it is so important to bring a claim against the doctor or nurse whose error or negligence led to a birth injury. Not only will this claim help the family who suffered because of this negligence, it will help to protect other families in the future.
