Birth Trauma

We Literally Wrote the Bookon Birth Trauma

Two of our attorneys literally wrote the book on birth injury. Handling Birth Trauma Cases, by the firms' attorneys Norm Tucker and Stanley Schwartz, published by Wiley Law Publications, details some of the factors that go into a successfully litigated birth injury case.

If you suspect that your child's birth injury may have been the result of negligence in prenatal care or the care that you received during labor and delivery of your baby, contact the Michigan birth injury law firm of Sommers Schwartz. Discuss the facts and circumstances behind your baby's birthing and resulting complications such as the following:

• Negligent prenatal care (failure to detect risk factors) resulting in brain damage
• Preeclampsia
• Forceps and/or vacuum extraction delivery
• Failure to monitor fetus's vital signs and detect fetal distress during labor
• C-section: delay, failure to perform, complications
• Brain hypoxia resulting in cerebral palsy
• Erb's palsy
• Shoulder dystocia
• Medication error or overdose during pregnancy

Injury, Loss, and Compensation
