The personal injury lawyers at Wolske & Associates have handled a substantial number of medical negligence cases in both Ohio and Kentucky, that have resulted from birth injury accidents and cerebral palsy conditions. Our attorneys can provide the expert legal representation necessary to recover damages on behalf of injuries a child sustains due to the negligent care of medical professionals.

Birth Injury

A birth injury is legally defined as any serious injury that a child suffers just before, during, or shortly after birth. It is estimated that 30,000 birth injuries occur each year in the United States. Many of these injuries are the result of negligent acts of medical professionals. In these situations, parents are often unaware that their child’s injuries could have been prevented. If your child has been the victim of a birth injury at a hospital, our attorneys can determine whether the medical professionals who aided in the birth of your child failed to provide a reasonable standard of care and are therefore liable for damages.

If you are seeking legal counsel, you should not entrust your family’s situation to just any personal injury firm. The attorneys you hire must possess the experience and dedication necessary to conduct a detailed investigation into the circumstances that led to your child’s injury. These resources are all the more important when you consider that the attorneys employed by doctors and hospitals work determinedly to ensure that their clients are not held financially responsible for their negligent actions. The law firm of Wolske & Associates, has a 50 year history of recovering compensation on behalf of families who have been affected by the careless acts of medical professionals. Our lawyers are skilled and aggressive and will ensure that your interests and those of your family are effectively represented.

Cerebral Palsy

At Wolske & Associates, our attorneys have helped hundreds of families whose lives have been adversely affected by the negligence of medical professionals. Marked by deficits in cognitive and motor ability, cerebral palsy results from brain damage sustained around the time of birth. A number of cerebral palsy cases are caused by the substandard care of physicians or members of their staff. Cerebral palsy can result from:

a failure to perform a Caesarian section when a baby is of large birth weight or exhibits other potential complications;
a failure to identify and promptly treat seizures, jaundice, or meningitis;
improper use of forceps or a vacuum extractor;
allowing a baby to remain in the birth canal for an excessive period of time.

Cerebral palsy is a lifetime condition that requires ongoing medical attention. At the law firm of Wolske & Associates, our lawyers have witnessed the financial and emotional hardship that cerebral palsy has caused for many families in both Ohio and Kentucky. Our firm is dedicated to ensuring that parents of children who have developed cerebral palsy, Erb’s Palsy, or any other type of birth injury from the inattentive care of a medical provider, receive full restitution for their circumstances.

There are many steps involved in evaluating the merit of a potential cerebral palsy case. Attorneys must determine, among other things, whether the appropriate tests indicating potential birth complications were conducted; that the child’s health was properly monitored throughout the birthing process; and that the necessary post-natal care was provided. If you believe that the negligence of a medical professional in Ohio or Kentucky may have been the cause of your child’s cerebral palsy, our attorneys can investigate your claim and determine whether you and your family are entitled to compensation.

Please contact the Law Offices of Wolske & Associates if your child has been the victim of a serious birth injury. We will work to see that you and your family are justly compensated for your losses.
