Dutchess County, New York Cerebral Palsy & Birth Injury Attorney
Helping the Families of Children Who Suffered Birth Injuries
The actions taken by medical staff at the time of birth can affect the course of the child's lifetime. Failure to identify fetal distress or a mother's health problem, such as high blood pressure, can endanger baby and mother.
Of course, there are times when babies are injured despite the doctor's best efforts. Not every birth injury is the result of malpractice. But how do you know? Parents are often left with nagging questions.
At the law firm of Vasti & Vasti, P.C., our experienced medical malpractice attorneys can help you find answers. If you believe a doctor, midwife or other medical professional's negligence during your pregnancy or childbirth caused a birth injury, talk with one of our attorneys.

Medical Experts Are Essential to Building Your Case
The average person simply doesn't have the knowledge to determine whether they received appropriate treatment — especially during a problem pregnancy or difficult labor. If you suspect that mistreatment occurred but are unsure, you can talk to a lawyer and get a professional legal opinion. If we believe you may have a case, we can have a medical expert review your medical chart in detail — at no up-front cost to you.
Some of the birth injuries cases we have handled include:
- Failure to respond to fetal distress leading to hypoxia, brain damage, mental retardation or cerebral palsy
- Failure to properly remove the child from the birth canal (shoulder dystocia), a brachial plexus injury contributing to Erb's palsy
- Failing to identify or properly treat high blood pressure in the mother, leading to stroke
- Failure to perform a C-section when necessary
