North Carolina Birth Injury Attorney
Doctors, nurses and other health care professionals are expected to adhere to standard treatment protocols. In birth injuries, when doctors and others violate standard treatment protocols, they can be held financially liable for injuries that occur as a result. At the Law Offices of Paul M. Goodson, we work closely with obstetricians and other medical experts to expose violations of standard treatment protocols and other negligence that causes birth injuries.
Birth injuries can occur when doctors, nurses or hospital staff members make mistakes before, during or after a birth. Both mothers and their babies can be the victims. Birth injuries can range from mild to severe - or even fatal - for both mother and child. If you or your child suffered a birth injury due to medical malpractice, please contact a birth injury lawyer at the Law Offices of Paul M. Goodson

In order to bring a birth injury lawsuit, a preliminary finding of medical negligence must be established and an expert report submitted in support of bringing suit against a doctor. Our attorneys prepare all necessary paperwork, consulting medical experts as needed to show negligence on the part of doctors and nurses.
Whether your child was harmed because your obstetrician failed to perform a C-section in time or because your doctor failed to correctly diagnose a treatable complication in pregnancy, we can help. Please contact a birth injury attorney at one of our four offices to schedule a free consultation and case evaluation. We represent birth injury clients on a contingency basis so you will pay no attorneys' fees unless we win your case.
