Are you the parent of a child with cerebral palsy?
Did you know that
medical malpractice could be the cause of your child's
birth injury?
We focus on the representation of families whose children have developed a
disability as a result of negligent medical care. That's why our firm
includes a highly respected lawyer who is a board certified OB/GYN, and a labor
and delivery nurse.
The MEDLAW Legal Team is a law firm devoted to the
zealous protection and representation of families. We
work with parents and children across the nation on a daily basis. We understand
the hardships, difficulties, and needs of families --
and we work passionately to obtain successful results on their behalf.
Our devoted staff also includes four registered nurses, two of whom are also
attorneys. The MEDLAW Legal Team has over a dozen lawyers, and a support staff
of over two dozen all working to enforce your family's rights. Our legal team works in the trenches on a daily basis - thoroughly familiar
with the labor and delivery process and the tragic consequences of substandard
obstetrical care. While most doctors and nurses provide a high
standard of care for their patients, unfortunately, many families are harmed by
medical mistakes. A physician may have misread fetal monitoring equipment,
failed to diagnose fetal distress during labor, waited too long to perform a C
Section, administered too much Pitocin, or failed to act in a timely manner. Any
of these may indicate a problem during the birthing process that may have
contributed to your child's cerebral palsy.
Parents of a child who may have suffered birth
trauma should
contact experienced
lawyers to research the cause of their child’s injury.
 "Knowledge
is power. As the parent of a child who suffers from the effects of
cerebral palsy (CP), you are well aware of this old adage.
You recognize that there is more new and emerging information available. So, you burn the midnight oil. You leave no stone unturned."
The intent of this article is to help parents better understand issues
surrounding one cause of CP – oxygen deprivation during labor
(intrapartum asphyxia), which can lead to brain injury.
