A proven record of verdicts and settlements
A birth injury is a tragic type of medical malpractice in Eugene, Oregon. Birth injuries may harm infants when an obstetrician, gynecologist, attending physician, nurse or another health care worker fails to meet the standards of care during a mother’s pregnancy, labor or delivery. Mistakes by doctors, hospitals or birthing centers can lead to injuries and conditions that affect a child for life, including cerebral palsy.
Finding out your newborn has a birth injury can be upsetting. Receive answers about your family’s financial future, including your potential right to bring a medical malpractice lawsuit, during a free consultation with the Eugene birth injury lawyers at Paulson Coletti Trial Attorneys PC.

A birth injury can describe any preventable injury or illness an infant has due to a health care practitioner’s negligence. Every year, thousands of infants suffer preventable injuries during labor and delivery or shortly after. Evidence of malpractice could make your family eligible for compensation for many different birth injuries.
At Paulson Coletti Trial Attorneys PC, we can handle claims involving any type of birth injury in Eugene, Oregon. Our attorneys know how to navigate serious injury cases, including those that cause permanent disabilities, scarring or disfigurement. We also represent families during wrongful death medical malpractice lawsuits. Our attorneys can walk your family through each phase of the legal process while protecting you and your child’s best interests.
“Most cases settle, but each of our cases is prepared as if it’s going to trial. The insurance companies know it and so do the defense lawyers defending them. That’s why we get such great results for our clients.”
Birth injuries are almost always preventable with due care by the medical professionals in charge of maternal and fetal care. They often occur when a practitioner breaches his or her duties of care. Examples of mistakes that can cause birth injuries are misdiagnosis, failure to diagnose a hospital infection, failure to monitor fetal vital signs during delivery, misuse of delivery tools, failure to schedule an emergency C-section and use of incorrect birthing methods during a complicated delivery.
Even the most prudent doctor might not be able to prevent every complication during a difficult birth. If your doctor fulfilled his or her expected standards of care, he or she might not be liable if your child has a birth injury. You or your attorney must be able to prove the defendant breached a duty of care and that this mistake or oversight is what caused the injury in question. Our medical malpractice attorneys can help you with this burden of proof. We can gather evidence and hire birth injury experts to testify on your behalf.
