Birth Injury Attorney Portland, Oregon
Accidents during pregnancy and childbirth are a parent’s worst nightmares. Thankfully, most babies are born without any serious problems or complications. However, medical negligence does occur from time to time and when it does, the consequences are tragic for everyone involved.
At The Law Offices of Jon Friedman, we have been providing parents with the best legal representation for their birth accident cases. We work hard to get our clients the maximum compensation they deserve for the pain they are suffering.
Medical Negligence May Happen Before or After Birth
Birth accidents can be the result of any number of possible events taking place while the mother is pregnant, in labor, during birth or immediately after. If at any point medical professionals have been complacent or have shown a lack of expertise, it may be possible to demonstrate that they are at fault for your baby’s birth defects.
