Birth Injuries

Nashville, Tennessee Traumatic Birth Injury Lawyers

A new baby in your life should be a joyous occasion. The anticipation of the birth built over nine months and when that special day arrives, you want to be ready. At the Law Office of Bart Durham in Nashville, Tennessee, we have represented clients who were prepared for a new child, but not prepared for medical negligence that left their newborn and/or the mother with a birth injury.

Birth injury cases I have handled at the Law Office of Bart Durham have involved:

• Erb's Palsy
• Shoulder Dystocia
• Hypoxia
• Pre-Eclampsia
• Toxemia
• Uterine Rupture
• Cerebral Palsy
• Respiratory Distress

When a doctor commits obstetric malpractice because of a birth trauma or a botched C-section, he or she must be held accountable for the birth injury accident. I have represented individuals who have suffered damage or have witnessed the after-effects of a birth injury suffered by both mother and child. Sometimes, the injuries can be fatal.

Birth injury cases are complex in litigating and filled with emotion. When a newborn baby is a victim of negligence that will affect the rest of his or her life, I will dedicate myself to ensuring that the child and the parents are taken care of financially by way of a birth injury lawsuit.

Cases such as these often settle, but any counsel opposing me knows about my aggressive approach and that I prepare cases for trial. Not only am I ready for trial, but building your case as if it will go to court gives me a "leg up" in negotiating reasonable settlements for my clients.
