Bloomington Illinois Birth Injury Lawyer

As with other types of medical malpractice claims, the fact that an injury occurs during birth does not necessarily mean that the birth injury was caused by the doctor’s or nursing staff’s lack of care or by obstetric malpractice. That being said, if you believe that your child suffered a birth injury as a result of malpractice or negligence, it is wise to seek early and independent legal advice.

If You Are Considering a Birth Injury Claim in Bloomington

If you have questions about the possible causes of trauma inflicted upon your child at birth, our law office will conduct an in-depth investigation, provide you with a frank and practical evaluation of the merits of your complaint against your doctor or hospital and clearly explain your legal options.

When a client first consults our office regarding a birth injury case, we spend the preliminary time gathering medical records and other evidence to demonstrate that the child’s mother had no preexisting health condition that could have caused the problems that arose during the birth process. This step is important, because a successful birth injury legal claim must prove that the baby was healthy and normal before the delivery, and that the errors made during the birthing process caused the infant’s injury.
