Birth Injury

There is no adequate compensation for an unnecessary injury occurring during birth, but Koester & Bradley, LLP can help fight for the rights of the child and parents. Childbirth can be one of the riskiest times for a family, a mother, and a child. The effects of delivery complications can last for life, shatter the dreams of new parents, or even cause death.  These injuries can occur during the entire term of the pregnancy, and not just at the birth.  Where the injury was diagnosable, treatable, or avoidable, the baby and parents’ rights must be protected. Birth injuries can be wide ranging from facial nerve palsy, bone fractures, Perinatal Asphyxia, Cephalohematoma, Brachial Plexus Injuries (BPI)Intracranial Hemorrhage/Subarachnoid Hemorrhage, or even stillbirth.

Almost all injuries occur either as a failure to correctly diagnose and treat a condition or disorder, or as complications during a pregnancy or delivery. Unfortunately, some all too common examples include: failure to recognize pregnancy disorders, the improper use of medical devices, the failure to timely perform a caesarean section, improper appraisal of a baby’s health in the womb, and improperly administering prescription drugs.

Birth injuries are a special type of malpractice claim because pregnancy and birth is a very complicated matter.  Koester & Bradley, LLP attorneys have extensive experience in handling and litigating birth injury matters and have recovered millions for the families of injured newborns.  Perhaps more importantly, our attorneys have the compassion to help and guide you through these difficult times and to protect your rights while handling your case with the respect it deserves.  If you or a loved one has been injured through the devastating trauma of a birth injury, do not hesitate to reach out to our experienced lawyers who can help protect your rights. We will aggressively handle your case while remaining attentive to your personal needs. We also focus our services to the residents of Central Illinois which means that our clients do not have to go to an attorney outside the community to protect their rights.
