Los Angeles Birth Injury Attorney

Birth Injury

California birth injuries rob children of futures before they're old enough to know what could have been. Parents feel helpless after months of expectation and preparation when someone's negligence destroys all hopes of a normal life for their newborn child.

Instead of looking forward to teeball and swimming lessons, these children may be looking at a lifetime in a wheelchair, difficulties learning and keeping up with other children their age, and a lifelong dependency on their parents or other caregivers for help and support for even small tasks. California birth injuries can result in permanent scarring, diminished mental capacity, deformity, cerebral and Erb's palsy, and even death.

Not only are the physical and mental repercussions of a severe birth injury detrimental, but the emotional stress placed on parents, family members, and the injured children is an immense load to bear. A Southern California birth injury means a lifetime of healing and usually isn't the type of injury that will heal in a matter of weeks or months.

The fear and frustration over the marring of what should have been a beautiful event is only compounded when the California birth injury is caused by the negligence or misconduct of a doctor or hospital. If a doctor misdiagnoses a problem during pregnancy, prescribes the wrong medication, mishandles instruments during childbirth, or improperly handles the mother or baby during childbirth, serious and long-lasting injuries can happen.

If you believe your child has been injured by a doctor's negligence or misconduct, contact the Southern California birth injury lawyers at Steinberg & Spencer. We will hold those responsible for the injury accountable for the actions that caused your baby's birth injury and fight to recover compensation for past and future medical bills and medications, treatment, rehabilitation, and other expenses related to the birth injury. While a settlement won't cure the injuries your child has sustained, it can make guiding your baby through a life altered by them easier to manage.
