Birth Injuries

Unfortunately, complications can arise during both pregnancy and delivery and these problems may result in permanent injury to the baby.  In situations such as these where the harm was due to medical error, it is important that the legal rights of both baby and parent are fully safeguarded.  Medical malpractice liability arising from birth defects (or injuries) is not limited to medical doctors/obstetricians.  Such liability can extend to nurses, health care facilities, hospitals and others providing health care services to you or your baby. 

Our New Jersey birth injury lawyers have had great success in litigating birth injury cases, such as the $18.5 million jury verdict for a delayed C-section that resulted in cerebral palsy.   To the best of our knowledge, this is one of the largest birth injury/cerebral palsy delayed C-section recoveries in New Jersey history.  

If your child has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy, Erb's palsy, brachial plexus injury, brain damage or any other injury possibly related to the birth process, please contact Mazie Slater Katz & Freeman and their New Jersey law firm and we will contact you within twenty-four (24) hours to discuss your case.
