The birth of a child is often one of the happiest moments of a parent's life. That happy moment can quickly turn tragic when errors before, during or immediately after delivery result in catastrophic injuries or even death. Serious injuries to an infant often result in a lifetime of medical care, which can result in medical bills and other expenses that quickly spiral out of control.
At The Hatley Law Firm, our lawyers have been successfully representing clients with birth injury claims for more than 15 years. We work hard to foster a caring and compassionate environment where we make a thorough examination of all the details, so that we can provide you with a straightforward evaluation, including the potential advantages and pitfalls you may encounter during the legal process.
Birth Injuries
If you suspect that your child's medical condition is the result of medical malpractice, it is vitally important that you contact a qualified and experienced lawyer right away. There is a limited amount of time allowed for filing birth injury claims. Regardless of whether the injuries occurred at a civilian or a military hospital, we will aggressively protect your best interests as we pursue the highest compensation due under the law.
Our firm has successfully represented families with newborns suffering from a wide variety of ailments, including untreated or undiagnosed infections, newborn jaundice, kernicterus, cerebral palsy, hypoxia and brachial plexus injuries.
Experience You Can Trust
Attorney Angela Hatley is a registered nurse who gained six years of experience as an Obstetrical nurse before pursuing a legal career. When representing birth injury victims, Ms. Hatley regularly draws on her nursing background while examining medical records and preparing legal arguments that rely heavily on medical facts that prove hospital liability due to acts of negligence such as:
- Delay in diagnosis
- Delay in treatment
- Denial of care
- Failure to diagnose
- Failure to treat
- Inappropriate discharge
- Medication errors
- Surgical errors
Off-site Appointments
In some cases, our lawyers will make appointments to meet at a location more convenient to you. If you are unable to travel to our offices for an evaluation of a potential medical malpractice claim, we encourage you to contact us to discuss the situation.
