Orland Park Birth Injury Lawyers with Offices in Cook and DuPage Counties
Tinley Park Attorneys for Labor and Delivery Medical Malpractice Cases
Medical errors and negligence have become so common that mistakes made by medical professionals are considered among the leading causes of death in the United States. Only heart disease and cancer kill more people each year. While medical mistakes are problematic for any patient, they are especially tragic when they occur during the birth of a child. A birth injury due to medical negligence can lead to a lifetime of problems for both the child and his or her parents.
At Schwartz Injury Law, we are committed to holding medical professionals responsible when their mistakes injure a child at birth. We understand that any childbirth can quickly become complicated, but when a doctor fails to identify certain risk factors or uses certain techniques that can cause injuries, he or she may be liable for any birth injuries your child sustains.

Attorney Allen N. Schwartz is a skilled personal injury lawyer with vast experience in medical malpractice cases. He and his team of award-winning attorneys have obtained many millions of dollars in settlements and verdicts for our clients, including those who have suffered birth injuries due to medical negligence. We realize that not all birth injuries can be prevented and medical professionals are not always to blame when such injuries do occur. Too often, however, delivery doctors fail to recognize possible problems before it is too late. In other situations, a doctor may rush to make a decision and cause irreversible damage to the child. At our law firm, we are equipped to handle birth injury cases involving conditions such as:
These types of injuries and many others can be caused when the attending physician uses tools like forceps and vacuums improperly, or if he or she fails to order a caesarean section in a timely manner. Birth injuries can also be the result of substandard prenatal care and the failure to perform appropriate prenatal screenings and tests. |
