Baltimore Birth Injury Lawyers

Maryland Medical Malpractice Lawyers fighting to protect your baby’s future

Birth injuries turn what should be an exciting time for a family into a chaotic period of confusion and stress. Instead of bonding with their newborn child or toddler, parents must spend time seeking answers from specialists about what went wrong and how to secure the appropriate care for their child. The fact that this nightmarish experience may have been avoided had a doctor or hospital taken the proper precautions before, during or after the child’s birth only exacerbates a parent’s pain and suffering.

Our Baltimore medical malpractice attorneys help you investigate whether your child is the victim of a birth injury. If so, we begin the process of filing a malpractice claim against the healthcare provider responsible for your child’s injuries.
