Birth Injuries

It is heart-wrenching to find out that your child has suffered an injury during delivery resulting from your doctor’s negligence.

Even more difficult is learning how the injuries will immediately affect your child and if there are long-term effects that will hamper your child for the rest of his or her life.

If your newborn child was injured in a military hospital, our accomplished lawyers at Webb & Ord can help you.

Protecting Your Child

For nearly a decade, our team of dedicated professionals have helped military personnel and their spouses worldwide cope with the emotional, physical and financial aftermath of their children’s birth injuries. Though the pain cannot be erased, you and your child have the right to receive compensation for the lowered quality of life of your child and the medical expenses needed for the rest of his or her life.
With our encompassing knowledge of military legal systems and relevant experience with all trial procedures, we have successfully handled military medical malpractice claims involving birth injuries such as:

• Cerebral Palsy
• Erb’s Palsy
• Asphyxia
• Abruption of the placenta
• Fetal distress
• Failure to treat pre-term contractions
• Preeclampsia
• Shoulder dystocia
• Stillborn death
• Forceps and vacuum extraction injuries

We want you to focus on your family during this stressful time. Let us aggressively defend the rights of your child while you help him or her heal.

When you contact Webb & Ord, you can expect one-on-one service with an experienced military birth injury lawyer. After evaluating your case and deciding to move forward, a claim will be filed against the offending government agency.

Brain injuries have the ability to cause wrongful death or negative, lifelong repercussions. This could include pain and mental suffering, ongoing physical therapy and medical treatment, or even the need for 24-hour medical assistance for the rest of your life.

This is a distressing realization, especially if the brain injury you or your family member has endured was due to the military’s negligence.

Our attentive lawyers at Webb & Ord are ready to defend you against the appropriate military agency in your medical malpractice claim.

You Don’t Have to Suffer Alone

Our success in handling brain injury military medical malpractice cases is a result of our dedication to our clients as well as the comprehensive knowledge we gained throughout 40 years of combined experience that includes both representing and litigating against the U.S. government.

With our in-depth familiarity of the military legal systems, there is no need to be hesitant about how your case will affect your honorable military standing. We want you and your family to focus on healing, not the financial turmoil involving the medical expenses that the military should compensate.

Webb & Ord handles medical malpractice cases involving brain injuries such as:

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Concussions
• Car accident injuries
• Loss of memory/function
• Brain injuries from birth
• Brain hemorrhage

No matter if you are stateside or in another country, we can help you secure the compensation that is rightfully owed to you. There is no reason for you to suffer from the aftereffects of a devastating brain injury that could have been prevented had it not been for negligence by the military agency.

Though it may be impossible to describe the overwhelming emotions you feel when you lose a loved one, we want you to know that you don’t have to go through this alone.

When the malpractice takes place at a military hospital, you can add a significant additional layer of complication. Most military members and their defendants, do not realize that malpractice claims against military hospitals, for example, the hospitals at Tripler, Fort Hood, Brooke Army Medical Center, are all handled under the Federal Tort Claims Act and through the federal courts.

Often times, when you contact a local attorney, while they may be interested in your case, they do not understand the process for suing the government. Having been a Judge Advocate with the United States Air Force as well as the United States Army, I know how to handle such claims.

Another concern, of course, is that they often have a small window for filing the claim. So you will not want to delay calling an attorney. Many of my calls with potential clients take place only days after the birth and while the infant is still in the hospital.
