Mississippi Personal Injury Lawyers Fighting For You

Mississippi Attorneys Protecting The Rights Of Birth Injury Victims And Families

Last updated on November 1, 2023

Perhaps one of the most heartbreaking areas of personal injury law is cases involving birth injuries. The birth of a child should be a joyful experience, but it only takes one act of carelessness on the part of a medical professional to cause a lifetime of consequences. When a physician, nurse or hospital fails in their duty to provide a patient with competent care and make preventable errors that lead to injury, victims have a legal right to pursue compensation for damages.

You shouldn’t have to pay the price when the people you trusted to help you bring a new life into the world have failed you. If your child suffered a preventable injury before, during or directly after birth due to a medical mistake, contact Kilpatrick & Philley to discuss your options.
