Birth Injuries

Springfield, Missouri, Medical Negligence Lawsuits

Experienced With Birth Injuries, Dedicated to Our Clients

A lot of things can go wrong during pregnancy and childbirth — not all of which can be predicted or prevented by medical science. Even so, many birth injuries are simply the result of doctors refusing to take a medically sound step or waiting until it was too late. Other birth injuries result from situations where the labor process did not exactly follow "the textbook," and the doctor reacted poorly or simply did not adjust. In other words, the birth-related injury your family recently suffered may have been preventable.

How We Can Help

At Hall, Ansley, Rodgers & Sweeney, P.C., we have been representing birth injury victims and families throughout southwestern and central Missouri for more than two decades. In that span of time, we have seen all manner of birth injuries, including cases of shoulder dystocia (Erb's palsy), cerebral palsy and hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. No matter the situation, all birth injuries are devastating to the families they've affected.

With three nurse-paralegals on staff and a team of experienced attorneys, our firm is well equipped to handle medical malpractice/doctor negligence cases. Either through skilled negotiation or trial, we have been fortunate enough to help many victims recover the compensation they need and deserve.

Birth Injury Resources

When a birth injury occurs, health care providers should provide the affected family with information about available resources, such as state programs involving occupational therapy, physical therapy and even home therapy. It is also a good idea to seek the advice of a pediatric neurologist as soon as possible to give your child a chance for a better quality of life. In any case, if you have not been given information on available resources, we can help.
