Birth Injuries

Chicago Birth Injury Lawyers

In the United States, we are fortunate that most births are a happy, positive experience for mother and baby. However, approximately three percent of newborns become injured, some fatally, in the childbirth process. While some of these birth injuries are inevitable, often, they are preventable and occurred as the result of negligence. At the law firm of Winters Enright Salzetta & O'Brien in Chicago, Illinois, our birth injury lawyers assist parents in seeking compensation for their children's preventable birth injuries, and fight for a settlement to cover the cost of their injured children's medical bills for life. Nothing can compensate for the injury done to your child, but if an obstetrician or other negligent medical professional was responsible for their injuries, or death, they must be held accountable.

At Winters Enright Salzetta & O'Brien, our lawyers represent clients in birth injury litigation involving:

• Brachial Plexus
• Brain Injury
• Cerebral Palsy
• Wrongful Death due to Delayed or Failure to Perform a Caesarean Section
• Erbs Palsy
• Improper Caesarian Section
• Failure to Recognize Fetal Distress
• Forceps Injuries
• Hypoxia
• Mental Retardation Due to Oxygen Deprivation
• Vacuum Injuries
• Wrongful Death

When a baby suffers injury during childbirth the emotional and physical devastation is overwhelming. Many of these children will require costly medical care for the rest of their lives. Our birth injury lawyers, together with a carefully assembled team of medical experts, will work hard to prove negligence on the part of the physician or other medical professional responsible for the pain inflicted upon your child and your family, and recover a settlement to cover the costs of your child's ongoing medical treatment.

If your baby has been injured during childbirth, it is important to speak with an attorney that is experienced with complicated birth injury litigation. Contact the law firm of Winters Enright Salzetta & O'Brien today to schedule a free initial consultation at our Chicago office.
