Medical Malpractice in Labor & Delivery

Birth injuries often indicate negligence by the obstetrician (OB-GYN doctor) or by nurses attending to the mother during labor. Cerebral palsy typically means that the baby's brain was deprived of oxygen for an extended period. Did the doctor fail to perform a C-section in a timely manner? Erb's palsy is caused by tearing of the brachial nerves in the shoulder. If the baby is stuck in the birth canal, injury can occur if the doctor uses too much force or improper technique to free the baby.

Our New York City birth injury attorneys at Sullivan & Brill, LLP have the medical knowledge, legal skill, and financial resources to take on these complex and hard-fought cases. We are prepared to go all the way to trial if necessary to get justice for the preventable injury to your baby.
