Peoria IL Developmental Delay Due to Birth Complications Lawyer

Medical Malpractice Trial Attorneys Serving Peoria, Illinois

Uncovering the truth about preventable developmental delays in infants

Infants often appear healthy after delivery, giving parents little reason to question the care they received. Parents naturally become concerned when their children develop slowly or fail to achieve certain milestones, such as walking, talking, or eating hard solid foods.

At Carter Law Offices, we are committed to determining if your child's developmental delay is a result of complications during delivery which caused a brain injury. We have been vigorously protecting victims of medical malpractice for 30 years. Put our experience to work for your family.

Protecting birth injury victims

Trial lawyer James Carter and our legal team will carefully review the medical evidence to determine whether delivery room doctors failed to prevent a fetal brain injury. Failure to maintain an adequate position for the baby during birth can cause shoulder dystocia or oxygen deprivation. Failure to monitor the baby's vital signs or lack of other preventative care can lead to fetal distress, brain injury, and developmental issues that could have been prevented.

We frequently work with medical experts from Yale, Stanford, John Hopkins and the University of Michigan to determine whether medical malpractice was responsible.

This can be a complicated area of the law. We have tried more than 40 cases to verdict, and three appellate appearances before the Illinois Supreme Court. If your doctor's negligence led to a brain injury and developmental delays, we are prepared to hold that doctor and any other responsible parties accountable for it.
