In an ideal world, the birth of a baby would always be an exciting and joyous occasion.

In that case, the personal injury lawyers at Bednarz & Bednarz in Hendersonville, TN, will assertively represent your interests and help you obtain the maximum compensation you are entitled to. We have been highly successful in pursuing a wide range of medical malpractice cases on behalf of our clients.
What is considered a birth trauma or birth injury?
Birth trauma includes any injury that occurs during the labor and delivery process, and it is too often the result of a doctor, nurse, or hospital’s negligence. When a baby’s health issues result from medical mistakes or inadequate care during pregnancy, you may have the right to file a medical malpractice claim.
Our birth trauma injury attorneys will thoroughly evaluate your case and help you determine if pursuing a medical malpractice claim is in your best interest.
We help families deal with losses from serious birth injuries, such as:
- Cerebral palsy
- Shoulder dystocia and brachial plexus palsy
- Erb’s Palsy
- Severe bruises or hemorrhage
- Fetal asphyxia
- Skull fracture or scalp injury caused by vacuum extraction
- Spinal-cord injuries or facial paralysis caused by forceps injury
How do I know if medical negligence caused my child’s injury?
Warning signs may include delayed treatment, failure to monitor fetal distress, improper use of delivery tools, or failure to perform a timely C-section. A lawyer can work with medical experts to review records and determine whether negligence occurred.
What compensation is available in a birth injury case?
Families may recover compensation for ongoing medical care, therapy, specialized equipment, future treatment costs, lost earning potential, and emotional suffering related to the injury.
How can a birth injury affect my child’s future?
Some birth injuries can result in lifelong medical needs, developmental delays, physical disabilities, and emotional challenges. These cases often place enormous emotional and financial strain on families.
How long do I have to file a birth trauma lawsuit in Tennessee?
