Birth Injuries in New York & New Jersey

Recovering Compensation for You or Your Injured Child

Getting pregnant and having a child is one of the most exciting experiences a family can go through. When you go to the hospital to give birth, you expect that every doctor, nurse, and medical practitioner involved in your care will adhere to their training and uphold an acceptable standard of treatment. However, medical professionals may fail or behave negligently, leading to a birth injury. At The Law Offices of Scott Gilman, our caring New York personal injury attorneys have decades of experience handling medical malpractice cases involving birth injuries.
