Extensive Experience Representing Birth Injury Victims

At the Law Offices of Benjamin Fogel, Inc., we practice exclusively in medical malpractice. Attorney Fogel has represented hundreds of families whose babies have suffered serious birth injuries from labor and delivery errors, including:

• Failure to recognize fetal distress
• Failure to detect and treat toxemia
• Failure to detect and treat uterine rupture
• Failure to properly interpret fetal heart monitor results
• Failure to properly use forceps, resulting in head injuries
• Failure to recognize and treat eclampsia or pre-eclampsia
• Failure to properly perform a cesarean section, causing cerebral palsy

We have also represented clients whose doctors failed to detect a tubal (ectopic) pregnancy. Attorney Fogel pursues as much compensation as possible for accident victims - he also fights for families who lost a loved one in a fatal accident.
 

Strong Track Record

Since 1970, Mr. Fogel has obtained millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements for clients. For example, one of his clients was awarded $1,161,500, due to a nurse's negligence during the delivery of the couple's baby. During the delivery, the baby's shoulder became stuck in the birth canal, causing the baby to be born with a limp arm - known as Erb's Palsy.
 

Mr. Fogel obtained as much compensation as possible to cover occupational therapy, physical therapy, adaptive devices, and future surgeries the baby might need. We are proud of the large settlements and verdicts we have obtained for clients in medical malpractice.
