The majority of childbirths in the United States result in healthy infants and healthy mothers. However, when something goes wrong during the delivery, it is devastating for the entire family. Perhaps the most devastating is learning that the injury was preventable.
Some studies suggest that as many as 97 percent of birth injuries are preventable if the mother receives proper pre-natal care and if the doctor is in the delivery room. Unfortunately, many nurses and midwives get in over their heads when they work with mothers who are in delivery. Infants can suffer permanent damage in the time it takes to call a doctor into the room to assist with complications.
At Linnan & Associates, we know that many of the birth injuries children suffer are caused by negligent doctors, midwives and nurses. As an experienced medical malpractice attorney, we have many years of seeing what can go wrong.. We stand With EVERY CLIENT, EVERY STEP OF THE WAY and Linnan & Associates will fight aggressively to help ensure that the victims of birth injuries receive the compensation they deserve.

Was The Birth Injury Preventable?
Women who receive regular, proper prenatal care are less likely to have children who are born with birth injuries. Diagnostic medical tests can effectively detect potential problems, so treatment plans can be put in place. When individuals contact Linnan & Associates, we thoroughly review the medical records to determine if negligence by a health care provider was the cause of the birth injuries.
