Dallas Texas Birth Injury Lawyers
Birth injuries are often preventable. When doctors fail to adhere to prescribed, standard treatment protocols, harmful oxygen deprivation or misalignment of a baby can lead to serious injuries. At the Law Firm of W.T. Johnson, we interview nursing staff, subpoena hospital records, and review videotape footage in identifying physician negligence in birth injury cases. Our office regularly works with a variety of medical experts in order to identify missed diagnoses, lack of proper fetal monitoring, and errors in the actual delivery of a baby. If necessary, our birth injury lawyers are prepared to use computer animation in order to illustrate for jurors how mistakes were made and what could -- and should -- have been done to prevent them.
If your baby or you were injured during the birth of your child, contact the Law Firm of W.T. Johnson today and schedule a free consultation.

Bringing a Birth Injury Case -- The First Step
Tort reform now requires that a preliminary finding of physician negligence be established before a medical malpractice lawsuit can be filed. Working with experts, our birth injury attorneys prepare all necessary documentation and testimony in presenting the court with evidence of negligence on the part of your doctor. While negotiations can begin before your case ever goes to trial, we prepare all our cases for the purposes of litigation and will never arrange a settlement without your knowledge or approval.
Determining the Costs of a Birth Injury
Since most birth injuries involved oxygen deprivation, brain damage and physical disabilities often result. At the Law Firm of W.T. Johnson, we consult life care planners and experienced medical economists in order to determine the cost you and your child face as a result of a birth injury.
Since costs associated with medical treatment, education, and daily living are bound to increase, our projections reflect what you can expect to pay given your child's medical condition and needs now and in the future. We're also prepared to explain some of the options available to you in regard to establishing a special needs trust and other estate planning mechanisms that can help secure your child's financial security in the future.
