Birth Injuries

Legal Counsel for Families Coping with a Birth Injury

In a career spanning well over 30 years, respected medical malpractice lawyer Scott Sonntag has handled many birth injury cases. Attorney Sonntag is committed to evaluating each case thoroughly, seeking grounds for valid legal action that can help your family finance the quality care your child needs.

If you believe the birth injury or injuries your child suffered were caused by medical errors or negligence, please contact us for legal counsel. At no charge, and taking no financial risk, you can talk through your situation with a compassionate, skilled attorney who has tried hundreds of cases and reached settlements in thousands more. We represent victims and their families throughout the Washington, D.C., and Baltimore metro areas as well as throughout the state of Maryland.

Knowledge of Birth Injury Outcomes, Actionable Causes and Costs

Our experience covers virtually all types of birth injuries — including those resulting in cerebral palsy, Erb's palsy and mental retardation — as well as the full range of actionable medical errors that can occur throughout labor and delivery.

We empathize with the sadness, tremendous worry and other complex feelings parents must deal with when they learn their child has a serious birth injury. Especially when you believe the birth injury should have been prevented by proper care, anger is also very understandable. 

A Compassionate, Realistic and Thorough Approach

It is extremely difficult to contemplate the challenges and costs of providing for a special-needs child throughout his or her lifetime. It is very important to work with an attorney who can:

  • Thoroughly assess the circumstances of your case to determine the likelihood of obtaining a financial recovery via settlement or trial
  • Take a comprehensive approach in projecting the total costs of your child's future needs — targeting the best care and greatest possible mental and physical development
  • Provide legal counsel you can trust and compassion you can depend on from the first meeting through every phase of your case 

Our firm can call on an extensive network of qualified experts to evaluate your case, testify if appropriate, and perform complete life care planning. Please contact us to work with a law firm that will share your goal of ensuring the best future for your child.
