Birth Injury Attorney
Justice for Victims of Birth Injuries in Illinois and Wisconsin
In purely clinical terms, "birth trauma" and "birth injury" refer to the variety of injuries that can occur just before, during or immediately following birth.
In human terms, they mean something else entirely. Because the results of birth trauma injuries are devastating to families, both emotionally and financially, the law seeks to protect victims.
The Milwaukee and Chicago birth injury lawyers at the law firm of Jeffrey M. Goldberg Law Offices understand both the medical and human aspects of birth-related injury cases. Our birth injury attorneys have a passion for this work, and we have extensive experience and success with these cases. Pregnancy complications and the various types of birth injury claims our attorneys handle include:
- Cerebral Palsy
- C-Section Mistakes
- Erb's Palsy/Klumpke's Palsy
- Pre-Eclampsia & HELLP Syndrome
- Uterine Ruptures
Low APGAR Test Results Can Point to Birth Injuries
To identify how well infants tolerate the birthing process, doctors conduct an APGAR test within one minute of birth. They conduct a second test after five minutes to identify the ability of the infant to adapt to the new environment. When tests reveal low APGAR results, doctors in Illinois, Wisconsin, and across the U.S. know the infant requires immediate medical attention. Unfortunately, medical practitioners cannot correct all conditions.
Low APGAR test results provide our birth injury lawyers in Chicago and Milwaukee with initial indications of potential medical malpractice—but the birth injury laws in Illinois and Wisconsin require extensive evidence to support a valid claim. Each Wisconsin and Illinois birth injury attorney at our firm conducts thorough research in-house and engages a network of medical specialists to help develop an effective case.
Our Commitment to Injured Children and Parents
No parent should have to experience the death of a child or the tragedy of a preventable birth injury. There is no experience more devastating, no pain more complete. If you have recently experienced either of these tragedies yourself, the grief and anger are immeasurable.
We want you to know that whether you are in need of financial compensation to pay for medical bills and other expenses, or you are searching for some measure of justice, our medical malpractice lawyers can help you with your case. At this most difficult time, you need people on your side who will stand up for your rights and the rights of your child and who will support you as you begin to heal.
