One of the most common types of birth injuries children can sustain is Bell’s palsy. This medical term refers to a condition in which newborn children cannot move one side of their face or have little or no control over their facial muscles.

Why choose a birth injury lawyer

You might think you don’t need a lawyer if your child has Bell’s palsy due to a birth injury. But the reality is many medical professionals often refuse to admit doing anything wrong. That’s because they know the stakes are so high. Often, hospitals could be forced to pay parents thousands of dollars if they’re found to be responsible for your child’s Bell’s palsy injury.

They don’t intimidate us. We know how to investigate such claims and find the facts you need to build a successful legal case. That’s why we have such a strong track record of success. Case results matter here.
