NEW YORK CITY BIRTH INJURY LAWYER
At Joseph Potashnik and Associates PLLC, our attorneys represent families with children who have suffered birth injuries as the result of negligence. Birth injuries may result in permanent damage that would forever affect the lives of children victims and their families. When the most joyous moment in one’s life turns into tragedy, our New York City birth injury attorneys offer help to families struggling to grasp the full extent of what happened.
When a birth injury occurs because of medical negligence, both the infant victims and their families may be entitled to financial compensation. The legal process to obtain adequate compensation is long and onerous and requires significant legal experience and skills as well as sufficient financial and human resources to prevail in the war of attrition waged by defendant insurance companies and hospitals. Our law firm employs the best medical experts in the field to prepare for birth injury related trials. We begin by moving quickly to preserve medical records and other evidence and consulting with our experts. We will investigate the circumstances of the injury to determine whether negligence occurred and which parties should be held accountable. We have all the necessary tools to bring your case to successful resolution either by negotiating a settlement agreement or going to trial. We move fast and get to action immediately.
Birth injuries may include bone fractures, spinal cord injuries, paralysis, brain damage, internal bleeding, cerebral palsy, erbs palsy, or shoulder dystocia. Birth injuries often happen when medical personnel negligently fail to provide adequate prenatal care, fail to observe the fetal monitor, fail to use instruments such as foreceps properly, fail to perform a c-section, or fail to recognize hypoxia, anoxia, or symptoms of fetal distress.
If we accept your birth injury case, we will not settle for anything less than the optimal result. If needed, our trial lawyers will take your case to trial.
If we accept your personal injury case, it will be on the contingency basis meaning that you will not pay us unless and until we recover money for you.
