Sometimes the miracle of birth results in heartache instead of happiness due to the birth of an infant with severe injuries, resulting in pain, suffering, and a lifetime of extensive and expensive medical and custodial care.  It is crucial for the heartbroken family to determine if the injuries were an unavoidable catastrophe or the result of departures from accepted standards of medical practice.

A careful and thorough assessment of pre-natal medical care, as well as the documentation of the infant’s delivery, has to be made by qualified, respected medical experts to ascertain where the truth lies in regard to the cause for the injuries.  The selection of the proper medical experts and the accurate compiling of the necessary history and medical records are essential in making an accurate, impartial evaluation of the birth of a damaged infant.

Retaining esteemed attorney Walter G. Alton, Jr., will ensure that the parents, at their most vulnerable, get the help they need to determine if their child was the victim of medical malpractice, and, if so, to assertively prosecute their claim to secure a fair and adequate recovery for the severe injuries and pecuniary damage that occurred.
