Birth Injury

Southern California Birth Injury Cases

Medical professionals have an ethical and legal obligation to meet standards of care, and when they fail to meet those obligations, patients and their families should not suffer the consequences. As the most vulnerable patients, newborns should not be burdened at the start of their life with pain and disability because of physician error.

At McNicholas & McNicholas, LLP, we have the experience, the ability and the resources to vigorously pursue complicated medical malpractice, birth injury cases that lead to wrongful death, permanent disability or catastrophic injury in newborns.

The Experience and Resources to Be Successful

Success in malpractice and birth injury cases depends largely on being able to determine and understand the causal link and working with attorneys who come to the courtroom with credibility and trial experience. Our attorneys have handled countless catastrophic personal injury cases and understand how to put forth the client's argument allowing us to pursue all avenues of compensation.

We accept birth injury cases on a contingency fee basis, which means that a fee is not paid until there is recovery on the client's behalf. We understand that families dealing with the hardships of a serious birth injury during a time when they expected to be enjoying the new life of a son or daughter need assistance and reliable partners instead of new bills to worry about.

We are proud to be a Los Angeles law firm that other attorneys turn to when the demands of a complicated birth injury case prove greater than their resources permit. Our reputation among our peers and our recognition by professional legal organizations show our commitment to excellence and the ethical standards of our profession.
