We
were there as medical students - at labors and deliveries, following
fetal monitor tracings and witnessing how birth complications can
develop - and how the attending doctors and nurses dealt with the
cerebral palsy issues. We've done rotations through pediatrics,
obstetrics, radiology, and neurology as well, and therefore understand
the normal developing fetus and baby from one with problems or potential
identifiable cerebral palsy difficulties.
And as our professional paths led us to legal degrees and the practice
of law following our completion of medical school, we can now use
these experiences to “read between the lines” of delivery and prenatal
records which help us determine if your child's cerebral palsy or
developmental delay is as a result of birth injury, a missed diagnosis,
or other cerebral palsy related medical malpractice, and at what
point - even before these records are sent to expert witnesses.
This familiarity with the terminology and the procedures recorded
in your medical records means that we can tell if you have a case
the same day that these records are received. That saves you aggravation,
which, after all you've already been through, is the last thing
you need as you try to fight for a better quality of life for your
child with cerebral palsy.
We hope to be able to help you in this worthy struggle, and look
forward to hearing your story.
