C-Section Errors

Birth Injury Lawyers in New York

When doctors perform Cesarean section deliveries (or C-sections), they have the lives of both the baby and the mother in their hands. If a doctor, nurse, or other medical professional does not adhere to all of the appropriate medical protocols and procedures, the baby and / or mother can become seriously injured or even die.

If you believe that the C-section injuries of you and / or your child was the result of a medical professional’s negligence, you can take action with the help of our New York birth injury attorneys at Pegalis Law Group.
