Help for Families Affected by Birth Injuries
"Over the years, we have handled numerous complex cases involving birth injuries and birth trauma in Texas and nationwide. In each case, our focus is on finding answers and producing results." — Attorney Les Weisbrod
Medical negligence cases involving birth injury or birth trauma arise in a variety of contexts. Many times, the parents suspect that a physician, nurse or hospital is to blame for their child's injury, but the evidence can be difficult or impossible to find without help.
The dynamic trial attorneys of Miller, Curtis & Weisbrod, represent families in Texas and across the country that have suffered due to medical malpractice and labor and delivery negligence that results in any serious birth injury, including:
- Cerebral palsy caused by traumatic or hypoxic brain injury prior to, during or following delivery
- Shoulder dystocia and brachial plexus injury caused by improper delivery practices and resulting in birth injuries and lifetime disability such as Erb's palsy
- Misdiagnosis of fetal distress, resulting in injury to the brain or other organs
- Complications of vaginal birth after Caesarian section (VBAC)
- Failure to perform or accurately interpret prenatal screening for serious or life-threatening conditions
- Wrongful death as a result of negligent care or monitoring before, during or after birth
In a large number of birth injury and birth trauma cases, it is the failure of a hospital, physician or nurse to respond to signs of fatal distress or perform a timely C-section that is to blame. These cases often require a lifetime of care for the injured child. We are committed to helping our clients obtain the compensation they deserve and to seeing to it that a settlement or jury verdict provides a lifetime of care for the injured child.

Full Compensation in Birth Injury Cases

The attorneys at Miller, Curtis & Weisbrod can help you gather the facts necessary to determine if there was negligence involved and, if so, we can help ensure that the negligent parties pay.
The Importance of Accurate Prenatal Screening
Many birth injuries, treatable defects and other serious conditions can now be detected with a simple blood test, while others can be detected with an ultra sound. A physician owes his patients a certain standard of care. If a child is born with an injury that could have been prevented or detected through proper screening, this standard of care may have been violated.
