California Birth Related Injury Lawyers
Nothing is more devastating to parents than to learn their newborn child
has suffered an injury, disability, or death. The news is even more heartbreaking
when parents discover the injury was preventable.
At the Law Offices of Kenneth W. Drake & Associates, Inc., ("Drake & Associates")
we understand the pain that families face when coping with permanent, life-altering
birth injuries and death.
The physical, emotional, and financial strain of birth injuries changes families forever.
Handling All Types of Birth Injury Cases
Sadly, birth injuries occur every day in U.S. hospitals. There are a number
of ways in which a birth injury can occur, including failure to diagnose
a condition, failure to respond to an emergency situation in a timely manner
or misuse of medical equipment.
Injuries from labor and delivery negligence include:
- Cerebral palsy
- Erb’s palsy
- Facial paralysis
- Brain injuries
- Brachial plexus injuries
- Shoulder dystocia
- Bruising or swelling of the scalp
- Infections
- Lacerations or bruises from use of forceps
- Bone fractures
If your child suffered a serious injury or lifetime disability due to a
mistake before, during or after delivery, a lawsuit may be the best way to
find out once and for all what happened and who is to blame. A lawsuit may
also be the only way to ensure your family has the financial resources to
deal with the costs of future medical care or assisted living expenses for
your injured child. We will fight for to uncover the truth, to determine
where the blame lies, and to obtain maximum compensation for your family.

If your child suffered a birth injury, it is critical that you determine
what caused the error (whether it was the result of a doctor's error, a nurse's
error, some other human error, a defective product, etc.), and to ensure
the evidence documenting that error is uncovered and preserved. We have the
knowledge and resources to bring in top experts to help us gather the information
we need to build a successful case, and we can move quickly to minimize the
chance that any critical evidence may be lost.
