Birth Defects

The sudden death or injury to a newborn due to medical carelessness and/or negligence is perhaps the most shocking and emotional event any parent can imagine. Seeing a newborn suffer a birth defect or other injury can be just as traumatic. The emotional and financial turmoil that inevitably follows these events makes retaining an attorney seem trivial by comparison.

Unfortunately, the time immediately following a tragic event can be the most crucial. Evidence is often lost or destroyed, witnesses disappear and memories become fuzzy. Therefore, it is important to consult with attorneys who understand both the complex legal and emotional issues facing loved ones after a tragedy as soon as possible.

We represent parents who have lost babies in botched medical procedures caused by carelessness or negligence. We welcome these people into our homes and our hearts and they become members of our family. We never lose sight of the fact that, while fair compensation can do justice, no amount of money can replace the loss of a newborn or return their physical health.

If you believe that you may have a birth defects case and would like more information concerning your legal rights, we encourage you to contact an attorney at Touhy & Touhy.
