Shoulder Dystocia

Kansas City Shoulder Dystocia Injury Lawyers

A mistake by a doctor or other medical personal during the birthing process can lead to a lifelong disabling injury. One such injury — shoulder dystocia — occurs when a baby's shoulder presses abnormally against the mother's pelvic bone due to an error by the delivering physician. This can cause a condition known as brachial plexus injury or Erb's Palsy, and results in complete or partial paralysis of the baby's shoulder or arm.

At McLeod & Heinrichs, we help sufferers of brachial plexus injuries, cerebral palsy, and other birth injuries obtain compensation for their losses and suffering. The financial resources we obtain can pay for surgery, physical therapy, and long-term care for our clients.

Providing for Your Child's Future

Medical malpractice and birth injury cases are almost always hard-fought legal battles. The doctor, medical provider, and their insurance companies rarely concede these cases, even when the loss is great and the liability is clear. At McLeod & Heinrichs, we work extremely hard to achieve results in birth injury cases. We know that our success can have a significant and positive effect on the future of each child.

Building a Foundation of Trust

The paramount concern for parents in these cases is seeing that their children receive the best medical care possible. They also believe and that their children — while disadvantaged by their condition — should have every opportunity to live lives as full and as complete as possible.

A birth injury lawyer at our firm will carefully review the circumstances of your child's case. We will explain the legal process, the prospects for obtaining compensation, and what it will take to get results. Cases involving shoulder dystocia and birth injuries often take months to resolve. A solid foundation of trust between client and law firm is essential during this period.
