Birth Injuries

Rhode Island Birth Injury Lawyer

Are you the parent of a newborn who was injured in the birthing process? Negligence in prenatal care and during labor and delivery that leads to a birth injury is one of the hardest things a parent can ever have to deal with. Many times, the baby would have been completely healthy if not for negligent physicians, nurses, and other medical staff.

Your infant may now require special care and medical attention for the rest of his or her life. During this time, you need a lawyer you can talk to. Contact Attorney Mark B. Morse to arrange a complimentary consultation. As a birth injury lawyer since 1983, he has helped numerous families move forward after a birth injury.

Cerebral palsy can be caused by infections or damage such as oxygen deprivation during pregnancy or the birthing process.

Brachial palsy happens when the brachial plexus (nerves that go to the arms and hands) is injured. This occurs when there is difficulty delivering the baby's shoulder. This is called shoulder dystocia and can result in permanent nerve damage.
