Our nation-wide law firm is dedicated exclusively to representing children (through age 21) who are injured as a result of negligence during pregnancy and childbirth. In addition to our legal work, we also pride ourselves on partnering with and giving back to local organizations who share our desire to support the communities and populations that we serve through volunteering and philanthropy. Many serious injuries can arise as a result of negligence during pregnancy, childbirth, and in the newborn period, including autism, cerebral palsy, developmental delays, and seizure disorders. For many years, autism (or autistic-like features) was thought to be caused only by genetics. However, the most recent research into the causes of autism makes clear that it can be the result of other factors, such as being born too early (premature birth; being born before your due date), or as a result of complications that occur during pregnancy, labor, and the newborn period. If your child has autism or some other physical or cognitive issue that you believe may be the result of errors that occurred during pregnancy or childbirth, our firm would be honored to discuss your concerns with you and fight for justice and compensation for your child. There is no hourly fee for our services, and we are only compensated if we are successful in recovering a monetary award for your child. Our job is to give parents answers, to secure justice for your child, and to ensure your child's financial future.
