Greenville birth injury lawyer Thomas Creech has represented Upstate of South Carolina families in birth injury cases against Upstate of South Carolina medical providers for many years. Thomas Creech has the experience and knowledge to represent you in your birth injury case.

Has your child been diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy? If so, your child may have experienced a preventable birth injury during labor and delivery that caused your child’s cerebral palsy. Please don’t hesitate to contact us via phone at 864-235-4999 by tapping the button below or by filling out our request form for a free consultation.

We understand and believe that the birth of your child should be one of the happiest, most joy-filled moments of your life. The delivery room should be a sanctuary where a new life, a new baby, is safely and carefully brought into the world. Doctors and nurses should be the steady, guiding hand, watching Mom’s labor progress, guiding, and coaching Mom as she delivers her new baby.

Yet, when doctors and nurses fail to do their jobs during labor and delivery, a baby can experience permanent and life-long brain injuries, leading to cerebral palsy. Doctors and nurses, even if they are caring for many patients, must safely monitor and deliver a healthy baby.

We are here for you and your child after a birth injury. As a Greenville birth injury lawyer in South Carolina, we can help families make financial recoveries for the harms and losses that their child has suffered, including brain injuries to their infants during labor and delivery resulting in cerebral palsy. Also, if your child was injured during labor and delivery because of medical negligence or medical malpractice, we can seek to find out why so that hopefully no other family or child has to be a victim.

While we cannot guarantee success in every case, and each case is different and unique, we have recovered millions of dollars for families in birth injury cases.

What is Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy?

Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy, (HIE) is an injury to the baby’s brain caused by a lack of oxygen to the brain during labor and delivery. It is also more commonly known as intrapartum asphyxia. If HIE occurs, it may lead to severe developmental or cognitive delays, motor impairments and Cerebral Palsy.

When an expectant mom goes into labor, the family trusts the staff to supervise and monitor her labor as she progresses. This duty includes close monitoring of the baby’s fetal heart rate by the medical providers. The fetal heart rate is the baby’s way -and only way- of communicating with the medical providers.

If a baby becomes oxygen-deprived during labor and delivery, medical providers must understand and appreciate the baby is oxygen-deprived and in fetal distress. A medical provider’s failure to understand that a baby is in distress can mean a disastrous outcome for the baby, including Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy or HIE.

When a baby’s fetal heart rate shows signs of distress during labor, the health care providers need to act. Performing a Cesarean Section is often necessary to rescue a baby in distress.

If your doctor failed to provide the essential level of care that your baby required during labor and delivery, and your baby suffered from injuries, you may be able to seek financial compensation for the lifelong medical expenses, treatments, therapies, and loss of earnings, pain and suffering, and disabilities your child may experience. Call us today and we can discuss what the law allows you to recover in your child’s birth injury case in South Carolina.

Why do you need an Experienced Birth Injury Lawyer?

Thomas Creech has the experience and knowledge to handle the complexities of a birth injury case. Since 2003, Thomas Creech has helped families in the Upstate of South Carolina in medical malpractice cases.

We understand the life-long conditions and disabilities that a child with cerebral palsy will experience. We have seen first-hand that children with cerebral palsy usually have a lifetime of disabilities and need substantial medical care, therapies, and assistive devices, such as wheelchairs, crutches, and specialty transportation vans.

In your case, we will seek to prove the extent of the disabilities and impairments, as well as loss of potential earning capacity, and other lifelong issues your child will endure so that we can recover all we can under the law for those anticipated losses.

A child who suffers from cerebral palsy is a courageous, strong, and determined human being who just wants to live a normal life, and do the things that all children enjoy doing. We want to recover as much financial compensation that we can under the law to help make a child’s life as struggle-free as possible.

We are here to help families who have had children injured during labor and delivery because of an obstetric physician or nursing negligence. We understand the many legal, medical, and financial issues that may affect your potential case and your child’s life, now and in the future.
