Birth Injury

Connecticut Birth Injury Lawyers

Most of the parents who come to the law firm of Silver Golub & Teitell LLP about birth injuries are seeking more than compensation. They are also seeking answers. They want to find out why the birth injury happened to an infant or mother. In many cases, the parents simply don’t know. They are also concerned about how they are going to be able to pay for care of their child at home rather than in an institution.

An important part of our role as Connecticut birth injury lawyers is to uncover doctor and hospital mistakes such as delayed caesarian section, lack of fetal monitoring, anesthesia errors, and delivery errors. Many injuries to babies and mothers are also the result of negligent prenatal care. Without our investigations, these mistakes would often remain hidden. We also identify changes which could have prevented our clients’ injuries. Our birth injury cases have had a significant impact on health care procedures in Connecticut hospitals and in diverse areas of state and national law.

Our Approach to Birth Injury Cases

Silver Golub & Teitell LLP is a different kind of personal injury law firm. We carefully investigate all cases before agreeing to file a birth injury action, and we only accept those cases where fault is clear. We do this so we can focus on helping the people who have suffered the most serious, life-altering injuries, such as birth injuries and wrongful death. To these cases, we commit the full financial and legal resources of our firm.

We are known for our sophisticated trial techniques, which include the use of focus groups, jury consultants, and extensive depositions from witnesses. Our medical malpractice lawyers fly all over the country to interview the most knowledgeable expert witnesses. This approach is essential in birth injury cases since Connecticut doctors will not testify against other doctors in the state.

Caring for Birth Injury Victims

No amount of compensation can make up for a birth trauma injury, such as cerebral palsy, Erb’s palsy, and brain injuries caused by oxygen deprivation. Our attorneys focus on helping parents take care of their children, who often need lifelong around-the-clock medical services as a result of their injuries. Our attorneys seek a financial recovery that, first of all, provides enough money to cover the essentials of what their child will require for their basic needs. Secondly, we help our clients do what they can to help their child access the world and enjoy life to the fullest extent they can. In cases such as cerebral palsy, this usually involves speech and physical therapy for the child as he or she grows up. We also help parents establish trust funds to meet the needs of their child after they are no longer able to care for them.

Silver Golub & Teitell LLP is widely known as one of the leading personal injury law firms in Connecticut. Judgments and settlements obtained by our birth trauma attorneys are consistently among the largest in the state.
