Wisconsin Birthing Injury Lawyers

There is so much joy surrounding the birth of a baby; however, if you are faced with a birthing injury, then this happy occasion can be shattered by sadness.

No parent should have to go through this, especially if the injury was preventable with adequate care and attention from the doctor and other medical professionals. There is nothing more painful than losing a child during the delivery or discovering that your baby will suffer a serious medical condition due to a birthing injury. Whether your child has been injured or the mother has suffered a serious injury during labor, you have legal options.

Bye, Goff and Rohde are Wisconsin Birth Injury Attorneys committed to helping new parents gain the financial compensation they deserve for their traumatic experience.

Labor can be one of the scariest experiences for new parents. The pain mixed with the overwhelming emotions of what is almost too much to handle without the added fear that something has gone terribly wrong.

Birthing injuries impact your entire family.

If your family have been devastated due to a preventable birthing injury, death or pregnancy complication, then it’s important to understand your legal options. The Wisconsin personal injury attorneys at Bye, Goff and Rohde can offer you our support and our legal services during this difficult time.

Some birthing injuries may have been preventable with adequate care from the medical professionals. If this is the case, then you have the legal right to file a lawsuit against those responsible for this tragedy.

A birthing injury can impact the rest of your child and your family’s life. He/she may need constant care and may have trouble developing at a normal rate mentally and physically. Birthing injuries may include:

• Birth trauma causing cerebral, Erb’s or Klumpke’s palsy
• HELLP syndrome due to undiagnosed preeclampsia
• Inadequate fetal monitoring
• Brachia plexus injuries

Birthing injuries can also impact the mother and may include:

• C- section mistakes
• Failure to perform necessary surgery
• Negligent delivery of breech baby
• Failure to diagnose preeclampsia and other conditions
• Uterine or placenta ruptures
• Negligent use of forceps during complicated delivery

What Options Do New Parents Have?

Having a new baby causes a lot of financial strain without the added stress of dealing with the aftermath of a birthing injury to the mother or the child. With the arrival of your little one, you and your spouse are most likely already down to one income and have to include diapers, bottles, blankets, clothing and nursery equipment to your long list of needs. If you are faced with a birthing injury you may also need to find the money to pay for things like:

• medical expenses and specialist visits
• future physical rehabilitation costs
• future specialized education needs
• home care requirements
• loss of income if you must remain at home to provide for the child or unable to work yourself
• emotional distress

You may be eligible for financial compensation for these damages and more. Contact a Wisconsin personal injury attorney today for a free consultation about any birthing related injury.
