Birth injury

Our lawyers at Goldstein & Hayes, PC, help parents whose baby has suffered an injury during or before birth. Many of the injuries result in children needing extensive or lifelong treatment and care. When the injury was caused by negligence or misconduct on the part of the medical team or hospital, we have been successful at obtaining compensation for families who suddenly have greatly increased financial needs because of their child's condition.

A law firm with the resources and commitment to handle difficult birth injury cases

At Goldstein & Hayes, PC, we have the resources to develop a strong, compelling case. We consult with national experts who have proven their ability to explain the medical issues clearly and accurately. Our staff includes an RN paralegal. We consult with the best life care planners to determine the lifetime cost of the injury and to provide our clients with vital information.

Our law firm also has the dedication and commitment to undertake difficult birth injury claims. We are creative, developing legal strategies that get results for our clients. Our lawyers become involved in the lives of our clients, and stay in contact after the case is over, checking on the progress of the children and making sure that the life care plan is still appropriate. These cases are not just numbers to us--they represent real families with real challenges. We are proud to be able to help them.

We have filed claims against clinics, physicians, hospitals, and nurses who have provided care that was not at the accepted level. Our clients are families whose baby was injured during birth, or whose distress was not identified during pre-natal visits. Their children have conditions such as:

• Cerebral palsy
• Shoulder dystocia
• Brain damage
• Erb's palsy
• Infections

We handle the worst cases of all--those involving the death of a baby at birth. Although we have obtained compensation for grieving parents, we and our clients are often more focused on making sure that the error or negligence that caused the child's death does not occur again.

Our attorneys are known for taking on cases that are difficult not just because of the emotional issues involved, but because the legal question is not immediately apparent. Because we have been handling difficult birth injury claims for many years, we have the experience and knowledge to develop strategies that fit the facts of your case.

If you have experienced the injury or death of your baby at birth, contact our attorneys at Goldstein & Hayes, PC. You will find us open, sympathetic, and helpful. We serve Atlanta, Decatur, and all of Georgia and the southeastern United States.
