Mr. Peterson has experience in litigating birth injury cases. He is familiar with the trauma that complications during the delivery process can bring to delivering mothers. Injuries to children during the birth process frequently form the basis for a special type of medical malpractice case called "birth injury". Tragically, infants may suffer brain damage, respiratory problems, shoulder dystocia, cerebral palsy, or other injuries with lifetime implications. Birth injuries are not always manifested early in a child's life and may develop as the child matures.

If you suspect that harm suffered to your child was the result of negligence, you should consult with Mr. Peterson. He will evaluate your case even if all the injuries and damages are not yet known. The statute of limitations for the parent's claim for loss of consortium (love, care, affection) may be different from the statute of limitations for the medical negligence involving the injured infant. Delay in raising a birth injury claim may limit or prevent recovery, so you should not delay.
