G. Eric Nielson & Associates, LLC

When you are expecting a healthy newborn, strange and abnormal behaviors and movements can be frightening. These may have been the result of negligence by the doctor or medical professional who delivered your baby.

Nerve injuries are a common type of newborn infant injury. Where improper delivery techniques or excessive force are applied, a newborn can sustain damage to a number of vital nerves. Trauma to the nerve networks in the neck and shoulder can result in Erb's Palsy.

Brain injuries are often sustained when a newborn is deprived of oxygen or the blood flow is reduced for a period of time. Infants suffering from hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, or oxygen deprivation, can lead to a number of life-changing disorders, including cerebral palsy, mental retardation, brain damage and chronic lung disease.

When patients come to us with newborn birth injuries they are often confused, scared, and angered to learn that their infant's injuries could have been prevented. We are here to help you deal with all aspects of your situation and guide you through the process of recovering certain costs and expenses.

If your child is suffering from cerebral palsy, Erb's palsy, or other newborn injuries, G. Eric Nielson & Associates can help you explore your legal options. We are skilled in medical malpractice law and familiar with the complex and confusing language of medical claims.
