It is supposed to be one of the happiest days of your life, but a serious birth injury to your child can change everything in an instant. If your child suffered shoulder dystocia or a forceps injury during birth due to the negligent actions of a medical professional, an experienced attorney can help your family. At the Charlotte Law Office of Elam & Rousseaux we represent families who have suffered from medical malpractice during pregnancy, labor, or delivery.

While most birth injury problems happen when a child is pulled from the birth canal too forcefully, birth-related injuries can happen at any stage of pregnancy or labor. That is why your doctors and nurses properly monitor you for nine months. Even a slight abnormality can cause a lack of oxygen to the brain, resulting in long-term disabilities for your child.

It is only natural to have questions after a birth injury has affected your family. At Elam & Rousseaux, our attorneys can answer your questions and help you understand your options. We provide medical malpractice counsel for a variety of birth injuries:

• Cerebral Palsy
• Erb’s Palsy
• Shoulder Dystoscia
• Brachial Plexus Injuries
• Klempke’s Palsy
• Forceps Injury

Sometimes a C-section is the safest way to deliver a baby. When doctors, nurses, and other health care professionals fail to recognize and respond to signs of fetal distress, they cannot respond properly to potential concerns.

Pregnancy Injuries

Some birth injuries are not the result of labor or delivery errors. Problems during pregnancy can result in preclampsia or eclampsia. When your doctor fails to properly diagnose and treat these disorders, it can cause problems in delivery and after childbirth. It is just as important to maintain proper care during pregnancy as it is during labor.
