Update Your Profile
You should speak with a medical malpractice attorney with experience in handling brachial plexus injuries. Our office works very closely with attorneys who specialize in this area, as do other law firms. You should be advised that there is a statute of limitation and a statute of repose that could impact your ability to file a lawsuit and recover if you wait too long after your child was born. Brachial plexus injuries are difficult to overcome, and there are several lawyers who specialize in these areas. Most firms that handle these types of claims, including our office, offer free initial consultations, so it cannot hurt to contact someone to discuss in greater detail.
I am very sorry to hear about your son, and wish you the best of luck going forward.
