The birth of a child is a joyous event for any family. However, a family’s joy can quickly give way to overwhelming grief if an injury occurs during the delicate birthing process. Tragically, in the United States three families are victimized by birth injury every hour — that’s 28,000 babies a year who are harmed before, during, or immediately after their births. As birth injury lawyers and attorneys at law serving the Bronx and Brooklyn, the legal team at Toberoff Tessler & Schochet has been successfully representing these most vulnerable victims of medical malpractice for more than 85 combined years.
While birth injuries and defects can occur naturally or genetically, it is a sad reality that many birth injuries are attributable to negligence on the part of a medical professional. If a doctor fails to detect kidney or urinary tract infections in an expectant mother, her child may become deprived of oxygen and suffer from brain damage or cerebral palsy . During delivery, if the doctor applies undue force, fails to anticipate complications, or uses medical implements like forceps and vacuums improperly, the baby may also be harmed. Still other birth injuries arise when a doctor waits too long to perform a C-section, or performs a C-section incorrectly. The birthing process is traumatic by nature, and the delicate bodies of infants must be handled with exceptional care. If you fear that your child has suffered a t birth as the result of medical malpractice, contact our birth injury attorneys as soon as possible . Our lawyers have represented birth injury victims in Brooklyn, the Bronx, and across New York, and we can review your case to see if you and your family are eligible for compensation.
The birth injury lawyers at Toberoff, Tessler & Schochet have served as attorneys to the Bronx, Brooklyn, and all of the New York City area. We understand that a family that has been affected by a birth injury is much more concerned with tending to their baby than with receiving financial compensation by the party responsible for their child’s injuries. However, we also understand that many of the children we meet who suffer from birth injuries will require lifelong medical and personal care. It is also common in birth injury cases that one or more family members leave work to tend to the injured child. In such situations, financial compensation can relieve the family of a substantial burden, and help ensure that the child receives the best possible care.
