Ohio Birth Injury Trial Lawyers
Brain Injury • Physical Disability • Fetal, Newborn or Maternal Death
The Becker Law Firm, L.P.A., is at the forefront of birth injury litigation. We have the resources, experience and access to medical expertise to hold medical professionals and hospitals responsible for their negligence.
Birth injury cases are complex, expensive and commonly go all the way to a jury verdict. We have the skills to negotiate with doctors' insurance carriers and the trial experience to go the distance in full-fledged medical malpractice litigation. The result of our commitment and capability is a long list of substantial verdicts and settlements on behalf of parents and children.
The Becker Law Firm, L.P.A., is an established law practice with offices located in Cleveland and Elyria, Ohio. We have fought and won birth injury cases throughout the state of Ohio. There is no corner of the state where we have not represented birth injury clients.
Our attorneys frequently receive referrals not only from satisfied clients, but from other plaintiff law firms, malpractice defense lawyers and even physicians that we have previously sued. Our trial lawyers are regularly sought as co-counsel and advisers in other states.
Demonstrated Success in Birth Injury Cases
To assert liability in a medical negligence lawsuit, your attorneys must understand the technical medical issues and be able to "connect the dots" to convince a jury (or insurance company) that a baby's brain injury, physical impairment or fetal or maternal death was directly linked to negligence. We have won cases against obstetricians, surgeons, anesthesiologists, radiologists, midwives, obstetrical nurses, medical technicians, hospitals and testing labs.
These lawsuits have covered the spectrum:
- Cerebral palsy from oxygen deprivation including asphyxia or physical trauma during childbirth
- Erb's palsy and other shoulder dystocia injuries during delivery
- Fetal brain damage from head trauma or from undiagnosed infection
- Fetal or maternal death from complications of preventable premature birth, undiagnosed conditions in the mother, and other failure to recognize fetal distress
- Newborn death from birth trauma or negligent neonatal care
We pride ourselves in establishing liability when other firms have overlooked negligence. We stay abreast of legal precedents and defense theories in order to refute common defense claims that other factors caused the injury.
- Michael Becker has handled birth injury and fetal brain injury cases for almost 30 years.
- Pamela Pantages is an accomplished trial attorney with a particular focus on birth trauma.
- John T. Bulloch is a registered pharmacist as well as an experienced trial attorney.
We work diligently in birth injury lawsuits to ensure that parents and children are compensated for a lifetime of special care, as well as emotional distress. In wrongful death claims, we strive to maximize damages by demonstrating the egregiousness of the malpractice, the magnitude of the family's loss, and projecting economic loss.
