Birth Injuries

Few events in life are as precious yet nerve-racking as the birth of your child. Alarmingly, the United States has the highest number of women who die in childbirth among all the developed countries in the world. Along with this, birth injuries causing disabilities and death of babies are surprisingly common as well. These catastrophic situations may result in the need for costly special care, shortened life expectancy, mental and physical pain and suffering, and even death. The attorneys at Kaveny + Kroll are experienced in seeking justice for those who are the victim of birth injuries. We stand for your rights.
