BIRTH INJURY

Birth Injury Information - Lawyers in San Diego

Our birth injury attorneys in San Diego understand the trauma that unexpected complications during the delivery process can bring to expectant parents. Injuries to children during the birth process frequently form the basis for a special type of medical malpractice case, and our birth injury lawyers are experienced in this specialized area of law. Infants all too frequently suffer brain damage, respiratory problems, shoulder dystocia, cerebral palsy, or other injuries with lifetime implications. Birth injuries are not always manifested early in a child's life. When circumstances warrant, our firm will accept a case and wait to see how the child develops.

If you suspect that harm suffered was the result of negligence, you should consult with an experienced firm of birth injury attorneys. Our lawyers in San Diego can evaluate your case even if all the injuries and damages are not yet known. The statute of limitations for the parent's claim for loss of consortium (love, care, affection) may be different from the statute of limitations for the medical negligence involving the injured infant. Delay in raising a birth injury claim may limit or prevent recovery.

If you are looking for skilled legal representation, look no further and choose Kerry Steigerwalt's Pacific Law Center's experienced birth injury lawyers. Hiring our attorneys in San Diego gives you the determination and drive it takes to help you seek the retribution you deserve.

• Shoulder dystocia, causing brachial plexus and arm injury
