Birth Injury 

Birth injury is devastating.  Fetal distress, "shoulder dystocia" (when the baby gets stuck), birth trauma, breech delivery, "abruption"  and ruptured uterus are some of the conditions that  result in  your baby suffering brain damage, cerebral palsy, or some other serious, life-long disability.   These injuries affect the entire family, and forever change the opportunities open to family members.  Was there something that could have been done to avoid your baby's birth injury?

Birth injury cases are complex. You may need the help of a competent injury attorney well versed in this complex area of birth injury law.  A large percentage of birth injury cases are lost at trial, regardless of merit. An experienced birth injury lawyer can significantly improve your chances of winning your claim. He or she knows what proof Maine's Health Security Act and trial courts require.
