Minnesota Birth Injury Attorneys

The tragedy of an obstetrical error, inattention at the time of childbirth, or mistake by a midwife — a birth injury causes damage that lasts a lifetime. Parents understandably want to give their child every opportunity to reach their full potential, regardless of their child's limitations, but they may face significant financial challenges in doing so.

If your child suffered a birth injury because of the negligence of a medical professional before, during or soon after childbirth, you owe it to your child and your family to seek financial recovery. The compensation you receive for your child can be critical in helping your child get the therapy and educational assistance he or she will need.

At the law office of Milavetz, Gallop & Milavetz our medical malpractice attorneys have been helping the families of the youngest victims of medical malpractice since 1963.

Our attorneys have handled birth injury malpractice cases involving:

• Failing to monitor fetal distress
• Failing to identify that the mother was in labor, causing dangerous delays
• Failing to respond promptly to fetal distress, including delayed delivery and failure to do a c-section when needed
• Problems with labor due to excessive use of pitocin, including uterine rupture
• Failure to aggressively treat jaundice
• Failure to identify and immediately treat placental abruption

These forms of medical negligence can lead to birth injuries to the baby and injuries to the mother, such as:
