Overview of Ohio Birth Injury Law

Tragically, severe injuries can occur during pregnancy, labor, or shortly after birth. 

Many Ohio parents face the challenge of providing for a child with special needs and seeking to secure the child's future care and treatment.  If medical error caused the child's injury, a medical malpractice claim may be possible, to help ensure financial security for potentially staggering medical and financial costs.

Our Ohio personal injury attorneys understand the emotional hardships of families dealing with traumatic birth injuries that could have been avoided.

While most injuries or illnesses are usually not caused by medical treatment errors, others are linked closely with medical negligence or medical mistakes.  Thus, it is necessary to take a close look, to determine whether a birth injury was caused by a physician or hospital mistake, or if the birth injury was something that simply could not be avoided.
