Ohio Early Childhood Development Attorneys
Medical Malpractice Claims Involving Developmental Disability
Caring for a child with brain damage resulting in developmental delays or cognitive deficits is emotionally and financially draining. If your baby's developmental delay occurred because of obstetrical negligence, you may have grounds for a malpractice lawsuit.
Did Obstetrical Caregivers Cause Your Child's Developmental Delay?
The Becker Law Firm, L.P.A., represents clients in cases in which obstetrical caregivers, including obstetricians, radiologists and anesthesiologists, should be held accountable for brain damage in infants. These problems may be profound and obvious at birth. In other cases, these injuries can be more subtle, resulting in failure to meet early childhood developmental milestones.
