Labor and delivery injuries can include harm to both mothers and babies. Because most people view childbirth as a safe, routine process, they are often unprepared to suffer an injury during labor or delivery. The shock of a childbirth-related injury, therefore, usually leaves families scrambling for answers and help. In many cases, they don’t know where to turn or if they have any legal rights at all.
At LawMD, our attorneys help families in Washington, D.C. and across the United States seek fair compensation for their losses. A labor or delivery injury can have a long-term impact on a mother or baby. You and/or your child may need years of help and therapy. It’s important to consult with an experienced birth injury law firm to determine how much compensation you need to cover the cost of follow-up care and other treatment. You shouldn’t have to pay the price for someone else’s negligence.
Birth injury cases are complex. Because the stakes are so high, lawmakers have made it difficult to file a successful claim. In many cases, plaintiffs are turned away before their case has barely begun. We work tirelessly to make sure that this does not happen to our clients. We draw upon decades of medical and legal practice to quickly and efficiently assess our clients’ claims. If you don’t have a case, we will explain why. And, if you have a solid claim, we will help you understand each step of the process so you always know what to expect as your case unfolds.
Labor and delivery injuries can occur at any point during the birth process. From the moment labor begins, doctors have a limited amount of time to safely deliver the baby. At the same time, rushing or forcing labor can result in unnecessary interventions and complications.
The labor and delivery injury cases we handle include:
In most cases, labor and delivery goes according to plan. However, not all births end with a healthy mom and baby. A labor or delivery injury can leave a family grieving the loss of a child’s potential. In some cases, mothers are left with severe trauma that impacts their future fertility. In the most devastating cases, a mother or baby dies during childbirth.
Because many labor and delivery injuries are entirely preventable, families and parents often struggle with understanding why something so tragic happened to them. Although we can’t go back in time and right the wrong you have suffered, we can help you get justice for the harm you have endured. We can also ensure the same injustice does not impact other families. It takes courage to speak up about a medical malpractice injury. We will be by your side every step of the way.

WE UNDERSTAND YOUR INJURIES, BECAUSE WE’VE LIKELY TREATED THEM.
Most of our physician-attorneys are either current or past treating doctors in, collectively, a wide range of medical specialties. There is a good chance one or more of our physician attorneys have actually treated medical conditions similar to the ones from which you or your loved one now suffers. That translates into care and understanding as your Counselors, and know-how as your Advocates.
TIME- AND COST-SAVINGS FOR YOUR CASE
Any honest medical malpractice attorney will tell you that one of the greatest expenses in a medical malpractice case is having to pay physician experts to study the details of the medical issues in your case and, if necessary, provide testimony at deposition and trial. While even our physician attorneys may also need to hire outside medical experts for your case, our medical know-how allows us to perform a significant amount of the medical analysis necessary for your case in-house which may translate into significant savings at the conclusion of your case.
RAPID RESPONSE WITH SOLID ANSWERS TO YOUR SERIOUS QUESTIONS REGARDING YOUR CASE
Because we have in-house medical know-how, we can evaluate the medical questions in your case and provide answers without a lengthy wait. Our internal process involves getting the issues in your case quickly in front of the right physician attorney who, based on his or her medical experience and training, is most likely to have the answers you seek about whether you have a case and how we might help you get the compensation you deserve to help secure a brighter future for you and for your loved ones.
