Texas Birth Injury Attorneys

Representing Parents for More than Two Decades

If your child has been injured because of negligence or carelessness by a treating physician or other medical professional, whether during your pregnancy or delivery, you may face long-term or permanent complications that involve expensive medical care. Because these types of cases are often considered the most complex and difficult of all medical malpractice claims, you want an experienced attorney to protect your interests, one who has successfully helped other families get full and fair compensation in similar circumstances.

At the Talaska Law Firm in Houston, Texas, we have been handling medical malpractice claims for more than 20 years, with a focus on birth-related injuries. Attorney Robert Talaska is board certified in personal injury trial law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. We also have considerable trial experience, particularly in the area of birth injuries.

We understand the emotional devastation you can feel when the wrongful acts of a medical professional cause injury to your newborn. We have been successful in our representation of parents in birth injury cases because of our unique dedication to and focus on the needs of families in these situations. We know what you are going through when your child has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy or a brachial plexus injury. We understand the questions and concerns you have and will leave no stone unturned in our efforts to get you and your child full and fair compensation.

We offer a no cost evaluation of your claim. To set up an appointment, contact our office or call us at 713-869-1240 (toll-free at 888-791-5191).

Our Birth Injury Practice

We handle all types of birth injury or birth trauma litigation, including:

• cerebral palsy, an impairment of motor functions that affects muscle control, which can be caused by lack of oxygen at critical stages of delivery
• brachial plexus injury or palsy, caused by trauma to the nerves on either side of the neck and shoulder, resulting in impaired function in the arms, hands or wrists. This often results from shoulder dystocia, where the baby’s shoulders must be moved to travel through the birth canal
• severe swelling or bruising of a baby’s head, known as caput succedaneum
• bleeding in the baby’s cranial region, known as cephalohematoma, often caused by forceps-related injury
• forceps lacerations or bruising
• fractures
• facial paralysis

Birth injury cases customarily require a substantial investment of time and money to be successful and often depend on expert testimony regarding the cause and extent of the injury. At the Talaska Law Firm, we have built a strong network of highly qualified and regarded medical experts, who help us bring credibility to your claims and provide clear evidence of the cause of your child’s injury, as well as its short-term and long-term financial costs. We will take the time to thoroughly prepare your case from the beginning, so that, whenever possible, we can negotiate a settlement that meets your needs, and avoid a long and painful trial.
