Proving a Birth Injury Claim

To file a claim, you must demonstrate that the doctor or hospital breached their duty of care, causing harm. This involves collecting evidence such as medical records and expert testimonies. Some common examples of medical negligence or medical malpractice during childbirth include:

  • Using too much force when twisting or pulling a baby during the delivery
  • Failure to prevent or control the hemorrhaging or tearing in the mother’s birth canal, vaginal area, or any other location during delivery
  • Failure to detect fetal distress with heartbeat monitoring or other such means
  • Failure to perform a necessary emergency cesarean section (C section)
  • Misusing tools during a forceps or vacuum delivery
  • Failing to inform the mother about the potential risks involved in any procedure, including forceps or vacuum delivery

Compensation can cover medical costs, ongoing care, and emotional distress. Our experienced attorneys will guide you through the legal process, helping you secure the financial support you need.

It is still with disbelief that we write this final thank you.

Back in 1998 when we presented Victor’s case to you we had no idea that it would take so long. 17 years is Victor’s life thus far, 17 years represents 1/3 of our lives, 17 years is 2/3 of our marriage. We had no idea how Victor’s illness would affect him, but we knew it wasn’t good. And 17 years is a long time – we thank you for persevering for so long to reach a favorable outcome for victor. Your expertise and commitment to his case is really appreciated. It is a tremendous weight off our shoulders to know that Victor will be able to live his life reasonably and comfortably.

I was the victim of a fall because of the failure of a property owner to properly remove snow and ice. I suffered multiple injuries with surgeries. My life was turned upside down. Fortunately, I retained the services of Duffy & Duffy who through their attorneys, especially Frank Torres, and excellent support staff vigorously and expertly fought on my behalf achieving a settlement of $450,000. I would recommend them to anyone who has been injured because of someone’s negligence. You will be in very good hands!
