Birth Injuries  

New York City, Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx and Long Island Birth Injury Lawyer

All parents wish for their children to be born in perfect health and without complications. Unfortunately in some cases, the actions or inaction of an emergency room, hospital, or delivery room doctor may have caused for the injuries your child suffered at birth. Serving New York communities for over 50 years, our lawyers at Pearlman, Apat, Futterman, Sirotkin & Seinfeld, LLP handle a wide range of medical malpractice and birth injury cases. We are committed to seeking compensation and justice for the losses your entire family has suffered due to the injured child.

There are many different types of birth injury situations that may arise before, during, or after the actual birth, such as:

• Brain injuries
• Cerebral palsy
• Hypoxia
• Erb's palsy
• Shoulder distocia
• Fetal death
• Mental retardation

Birth injury cases are especially traumatic on parents. When dealing with the mistakes or negligence of a doctor, you need an attorney that you can rely on. We work to help our clients deal with the trauma by ensuring their rights are protected by a meticulous laying-out of their case, investigating and examining every aspect of the birth injury; from determinations of liability to sources of compensation, to the presentation of a compelling case, whether at the negotiating table or in the courtroom.

Birth injuries have life-altering and long-lasting repercussions. We work with doctors, nurses and long-term care experts to accurately calculate the amount of compensation for the expenses you child will need. Negligent doctors and other medical staff need to be held accountable for the situation that has caused your child's birth injury.
