We also have substantial experience in taking on hospitals, clinics and medical professionals and holding them accountable for the birth injuries, birth defects and fatalities they cause.

Difficult, But Not Impossible | We Leave No Stone Unturned
Birth injury negligence cases can be difficult, but not impossible, to prove. Many jurors, and even judges, may harbor biases toward favoring the testimony medical personnel because they are considered specialists. The key for any birth injury lawsuit is to gather as much evidence as possible and to find the links in the treatment chain that prove negligence occurred.
At the Law Offices of Roger S. Weinberg, L.L.C., we examine medical records and interview relevant parties to get a clear picture of health care providers' actions, decisions and documentation, which we can compare to established legal and medical standards. We also have access to medical experts and financial consultants who can document the extent of your damages and/or offer testimony supporting your claims.
