Birth Injury<\/strong><\/p>\n

Attorney Oregon<\/h2>\n

Birth injury is a hyper-specialized area of malpractice litigation that few attorneys have the expertise, or resources to try. We do. Your injured infant deserves a voice and your family needs an expert advocate in a birth injury lawyer who can provide you with not just the legal, but also the emotional, support to rebuild your life.<\/p>\n

Every catastrophic injury or malpractice case is unfortunate and damaging, but a preventable birth injury might be the most distressing, painful, and costly. One of the happiest moments of life suddenly becomes a tragedy; your injured baby doesn\u2019t understand and can\u2019t communicate; and the lifetime impacts and costs to your family could be disastrous.<\/p>\n

All medical negligence cases are technically complex and expensive to prepare and try, but birth injury cases\u2014or even an infant wrongful death lawsuit\u2014up the ante. It\u2019s not just the complexity of assembling a diverse team of medical expert witnesses in neurology or cardiovascular science or the like, but also elevating that to obstetric, neonatal, or pediatric specialists in each of those areas. And then there\u2019s the fact that the tiny victim is helpless, and cannot speak for themselves or testify. That\u2019s why you need an experienced birth trauma lawyer.<\/p>\n

In addition, the potential lifetime costs of care for someone injured at birth can be astronomical, meaning medical providers and insurance companies fight birth injury lawyers at every turn and with every\u00a0possible\u00a0<\/ins>challenge. They see these cases as huge financial risk and simple economics, so it pays to fight long and hard. As a result, most lawyers\u2014even great medical malpractice attorneys\u2014can\u2019t afford the time, effort, money, and emotional toll to prepare and try complex birth injury cases or infant wrongful death lawsuits.<\/p>\n

At Barton Trial Attorneys we relish a good fight and we don\u2019t shy away from holding healthcare providers accountable just because the road is long or difficult or costly. If we determine your infant was seriously injured by a negligent healthcare provider or system, we have the expertise and the resources to fight for your family and hold those responsible accountable, to help you provide the best care for your child long term and help you rebuild your life.<\/p>\n
