McGowan, Hood & Felder, LLC
Birth Injury Attorneys
Most birth injuries are preventable when doctors follow standard treatment protocols. Failure to respond quickly to changes in fetal heart monitor tracings, shifts in a baby’s position, or other warning signs can result in injury to both the mother and the infant. At McGowan, Hood & Felder, LLC, our birth injury lawyers consult medical experts in reviewing a doctor’s or hospital’s actions and decisions, identify departures from standard procedures and diagnostic protocols. Reviewing medical records and interviewing hospital staff, we expose failures on the part of nurses and other healthcare personnel that led to a break down in communication, affecting when a diagnosis was made or when preventative action was initiated.
