3. Why would I need an attorney in a birth injury case?

   If a birth injury occurs as the result of negligence on the part of a medical professional, then you may have a medical malpractice case.

   Negligence is a legal term - it means that the medical professional failed to act in a reasonable and responsible manner consistent with the standard of care of other medical professionals. Proving negligence is a complicated matter - it involves a thorough understanding of birth injury claims, as well as access to competent medical professionals who are willing to testify on your behalf. An experienced birth injury attorney can help.
