Idaho Birth Injury Attorney
Two Medical Malpractice Lawyers with a Combined 60 Years of Experience
Babies need oxygen, both before birth and during birth. Doctors, nurses, pediatricians and OB/GYNs know this, but still sometimes fail to address fetal and birth-related oxygen supply issues properly.
If you know or suspect that your baby was injured due to oxygen deprivation before or during birth, or that your baby has cerebral palsy or Erb's palsy, the Carty Houst law firm in Boise can help. Attorneys Stuart Carty and Henry Houst Jr. have handled dozens of cerebral palsy cases resulting from a broad range of negligent acts, including:
- Nursing errors, including failure to detect fetal distress and failure to contact an OB/GYN during birth
- Errors in reading fetal heart tone monitor strips
- The complete absence of OB/GYN physicians and other doctors at crucial moments in babies' births
- Errors in using in utero baby scalp monitors, which are used to read babies' heart beats
- Failure to address issues involving breach births, rotated shoulders and pinched umbilical cords
- Errors in using the labor-inducing drug Pitocin. Pitocin uses up babies' oxygen and its use must be stopped if labor doesn't begin.
To speak with an experienced attorney about your legal options in cases involving cerebral palsy, Erb's palsy and other birth injuries, call the Carty Houst law firm at 208-342-3501 or 877-293-9300.
We are highly skilled and experienced in addressing key challenges in medical malpractice cases. For instance, often doctors are reluctant to identify the errors of other doctors. We work with a strong network of local and national physicians willing to provide key testimony regarding medical negligence. Our experience both as plaintiff's lawyers and insurance defense attorneys also means we have the skill and legal knowledge to prepare a strong case. To discuss your potential cerebral palsy or other birth injury case with a knowledgeable personal injury lawyer, contact us by calling 208-342-3501 or 877-293-9300. You can also contact us online.
