Birth Injuries
Rock Hill, South Carolina Birth Injury Attorneys
Doctors, nurses, and attending staff can all be held liable for any birth injuries or infant fatalities that result from a failure to follow standard treatment protocols. For example, if the failure to properly monitor vital signs or the position of a baby results in hypoxic injuries or delivery complications, the injured family may bring a medical malpractice action against the appropriate parties and the healthcare facility.
We have the resources and experience needed to hold negligent doctors, hospitals, and nurses financially liable for the birth injuries they cause. To schedule an appointment and discuss your case, contact birth injury attorneys at the Jordan Law Firm today.
At the Jordan Law Firm, our lawyers strive to expose departures from standard treatment protocols and acts of negligence on the part of doctors. Working closely with medical and nursing experts, we identify symptoms that were ignored, tests that were not undertaken, and unnecessary delays in treatment. We review medical charts, delivery room video footage if available, and testimony provided by attending staff.

Securing Your Child's Future
Birth injuries involving oxygen deprivation can result in severe cognitive and physical impairment. As a result, children who suffer these hypoxic birth injuries are likely to require ongoing care for the rest of their lives. In order to provide for the future care of a child, parents can create a special needs trust or structured settlement using the proceeds from a settlement or jury award in a birth injury case. Our attorneys can discuss the options available to you and help you take the necessary steps to create a special needs trust or a structured settlement. We can also explain how you may be able to avoid certain kinds of taxes and qualify a child for Medicaid without spending down his or her assets.
