At the Covington, Kentucky law firm of O'Hara Ruberg Taylor Sloan & Sergent, our medical malpractice lawyers advise parents about their legal options for birth injuries caused by the negligence of your obstetrician, anesthesiologist or nurse midwife. Contact us for a free consultation about your right to compensation.
Established in 1963, our law firm has an established history of representing families on both sides of the Ohio River in serious, disabling and fatal medical malpractice claims. Among the most troubling cases we handle are those involving severe or permanent injuries to newborns due to medical negligence during prenatal care or during childbirth. In the more serious cases of medical negligence, your family will need to recover a significant amount to meet the expenses of raising a child facing profound challenges that would have been avoidable but for the negligence of a physician or nurse. Your child may need a lifetime of treatment and living assistance to compensate for severe disabilities.
Our job is to first obtain all medically relevant information and then review that information with highly qualified medical experts in the appropriate field to determine if your child's injuries were caused by the negligence of a medical provider. If that proves to be the case, our medical negligence attorneys can provide the representation you need to present the evidence of negligence in detail and in persuasive terms and work hard on your behalf to obtain full and fair compensation for your child's injuries.
Greater Cincinnati Attorneys for Cerebral Palsy or Brachial Plexus Injury Claims
Our attorneys work with outstanding experts from several medical specialties who can help you understand what went wrong during the delivery of your child. We ask our experts to identify the signs of negligence on the part of the delivery team that the monitor strips and medical records reveal; then we ask our experts to show how inattention or poor professional judgment caused your child's injuries.
We represent families across the full range of birth injury claims, including:
- Cerebral palsy caused by interruption of the oxygen supply to the newborn's brain
- Brachial plexus injury caused by improper obstetric techniques
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of gestational diabetes, which can increase the risk of shoulder dystocia
- Negligent failure to order a C-section in time to avoid high-risk complications
- Complications of fetal distress caused by negligence during delivery
The negligence that harmed your child might have been committed by a doctor, a nurse, a technician or even a hospital administrator. Our job is to first obtain all medically relevant information and then review that information with highly qualified medical experts in the appropriate field to determine if your child's injuries were caused by the negligence of a medical provider. If that proves to be the case, our medical negligence attorneys can provide the representation you need to present the evidence of negligence in detail and in persuasive terms and work hard on your behalf to obtain full and fair compensation for your child's injuries.
