Birth Injury Attorney in Marietta

A Marietta birth injury lawyer from Morgan and Morgan, America’s largest and most powerful injury firm, might be able to represent your loved one if injured due to negligence during the birth process. We know how special a child’s birth is to its parents, but negligence is all it takes to ruin this moment.

And when negligence is involved, it is always important to ensure that we find a way to remedy the situation. One way of doing this is to ensure that the child’s interests are prioritized now and in the long term.

But that’s usually easier said than done, given that healthcare professionals, institutions, and insurance providers often try to limit liability. And, since these cases fall under the umbrella of medical malpractice, the plaintiffs usually have a higher burden of proof. Add that to the strict statute of limitations (two years from the injury) and mountains of paperwork involved; you’ll realize that such cases aren’t the easiest to navigate.

But the good news is that you are in the right place if you’re reading this. Our track record of winning birth injury cases speaks for itself; a $38 million award for a mother whose child suffered serious injuries during birth, for example, is up there with some of the cases we’ve won.

If your loved one suffered birth injuries, contact us today to determine if they may be eligible for compensation.
