Brooklyn Birth Injury Attorney
Shoulder dystocia happens when the baby's shoulder becomes lodged behind the mother's pelvic bone during delivery. This is a critical situation that requires swift and accurate action by doctors and delivery room staff.
Failure to properly handle these situations can result in serious long-term injuries to the child. I am Daniel A. Kalish, a Brooklyn, White Plains and Bronx shoulder dystocia attorney. I have been practicing personal injury law in New York since 1986. If your child has suffered any type of injury as a result of shoulder dystocia, contact my office to discuss your case.
Fighting for Your Child's Future
If immediate action is not taken once shoulder dystocia becomes apparent, it can result in severe brain and nerve damage or other injuries to the child. In addition, a shoulder dystocia delivery must be handled very carefully. If it is not, the baby could suffer a brachial plexus injury which can lead to Erb's palsy.
Injuries resulting from the mishandling of shoulder dystocia can leave your child to face a lifetime of hardship. Talk to an experienced personal injury lawyer to learn more about your legal options.
With every case I take, I work to determine the full extent of the injury and the type of care that will be required in the short and long term. When appropriate, I call in life planning experts and other specialists to confirm the total compensation that will be needed throughout the course of treatment.
I work diligently to secure the right compensation to fully accommodate your child's needs both now and into the future. Contact me to schedule a free initial consultation.
