Our Forceps Delivery Injury Lawyers Pursue Maximum Compensation
Providing diligent legal representation in cases of medical negligence
Sometimes complications arise during childbirth and babies need help making it out of the birth canal. In these situations, doctors may use forceps to assist in the delivery. In competent medical hands, forceps can be a valuable tool to aid in delivery. However, if they are used improperly or unnecessarily, they can cause serious injuries to babies and mothers.
If you believe your newborn baby suffered harm due to the negligent use of forceps, you may have a claim for medical malpractice against the obstetrician. Our birth injury attorneys can also provide legal counsel if a vacuum extractor, another device commonly used in assisted deliveries, caused injuries.

What a Kansas Forceps Delivery Injury Lawyer Will Do for You
Following a birth injury, you don’t need the added stress of worrying about the steps and complexities of filing a claim against your doctor. Your focus should be on your baby’s health and your own well-being. This is where we come in. At Palmer Law Group, we will investigate what went wrong in the delivery room and why.
According to The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, approximately 3 in 100 vaginal deliveries are assisted with forceps or vacuum extractors. These tools might be used to assist in birth if the baby is in distress, such as with a slowing or speeding heart rate, is stuck in the birth canal, the mother is too tired to push anymore, or the mother has a medical condition that makes pushing unsafe.
A Kansas forceps delivery injury attorney from our firm will speak to medical experts to determine why forceps were used in your case, whether their use was necessary, and how their improper used caused harm. We will review your medical records, speak to witnesses to the delivery, and look into whether the at-fault doctor has had other malpractice claims filed against them.
Once we have gathered the evidence, we will seek to negotiate a settlement with the doctor and their malpractice insurer. This process can involve some back and forth as we aggressively work to try and get you the maximum settlement that you and your family deserve. The majority of malpractice claims are settled through negotiations with insurance companies. But there are instances in which negotiations are not successful. In that case, we’ll counsel you about going to trial.
No matter how your case progresses, you can trust that we will provide strong representation and well-informed guidance every step of the way. When your child has suffered injuries due to medical negligence, we won’t back down in pursuing the compensation that you deserve.
