Birth Injuries
Representing Birth Injury Victims in New Jersey and New York
You and your baby counted on the skills of professionals — a doctor, nurse, midwife — to care for and deliver your baby safely. You trusted these medical professionals to follow established standards of care when treating you and your baby. When the professionals fall short, devastating, even fatal, injuries may occur.
At Francis X. Dorrity Law Offices, we represent the families of babies injured or killed at the hands of obstetricians and other medical professionals. For over 35 years, our lawyers have been fighting for the rights of New Jersey residents from our office in Jersey City.
A Birth Injury — Threatening the Life of Your Child
Francis Dorrity is a civil trial attorney, certified by the New Jersey Supreme Court and the National Board of Trial Advocacy. Our offices work as a team to represent children and their families in serious medical malpractice cases related to a birth injury. We handle only a few cases a year, allowing us to provide the resources and dedication that your case deserves.
Birth injuries can have long lasting consequences to the life of a child — the money damages that you receive should reflect these consequences. Some of the more common types of birth injuries include:
- Hypoxic injuries
- Erb's and cerebral palsy
- Missed or failed diagnosis
- Shoulder dystocia
- Fetal distress
We focus our practice almost exclusively on the areas of personal injury, workers' compensation and medical malpractice claims. We know how to investigate the facts thoroughly and develop a strong case.
If your child suffers from a serious, even fatal birth injury because of medical negligence, contact one of our attorneys at Francis X. Dorrity Law Offices to schedule a free legal consultation on your birth injury case. Home and hospital visits arranged.
