Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in California

Birth weight 12lb Dr did not do C-section

Is this common out there with OB/GYN to deliver by Vaginal delivery with such a large baby? He has brain trauma erb's palsy and the leftside of his brain has no activity so no speech and a disabled child!

I agree with my colleagues.

Since you presumably live in Orange County (from your zip code), you should contact Mr. Lee, or Mr. Roth for help, since they are closer to you than I am.

You need to consult an attorney who specializes in Medical Malpractice and have him/her obtain your and your child's medical records and consult his Ob/Gyn expert. You may have a case, but only the expert knows if there was a departure from the standard of care. You should definitely look into this, as your case is a high-damages case, assuming liability. I can refer you to some good MedMal plaintiffs' lawyers if you want to give me a call.

You should have this matter evaluated for negligence and causation. This may well be a large malpractice case.

Evaluation is free. If you want to, give my office a call.
