Hospital and physician negligence, often referred to a medical malpractice, requires extensive experience on the part of the practicing attorney, as well as, the ability to harness the resources of medical experts experienced in the particular type of medicine involved in the claim. It is up to the litigating attorney to obtain an opinion from the most credible and reliable experts so that the adversary and, if necessary, a jury will fully understand why the medical procedure or treatment was negligent or improper. At Dreyer Boyajian LLP, we painstakingly review the credentials of our proposed expert witnesses. We meet with them personally and we question and re-question them concerning the validity of their opinions. It is only until these steps are taken that we agree to commence medical malpractice liability. Anyone who is considering bringing a medical malpractice lawsuit must realize that these claims are very serious. A professional’s integrity and competence is being called into question. Accordingly, it is critical that any claim of negligence be well founded on the facts and upon the medicine in the particular discipline involved. At Dreyer Boyajian LLP, we feel that performing this work at the beginning of a case results in our being able to give a frank and honest opinion concerning the alleged malpractice.

Birth Injury Cases

Many thousands of times annually, infants in labor and delivery rooms suffer unnecessary and debilitating injuries as a result of poor medical technique or the failure of medical personnel to timely and promptly intervene during the labor and delivery process. It is important to distinguish those instances of injury which are a result of natural consequences and not preventable, as opposed to those instances of injury which were predictable and preventable.

We work closely with obstetrical nurses, obstetricians, gynecologists, neo-natalogists, perinatalogists and pediatricians to analyze the entire circumstances surrounding labor and delivery, as well as, the period immediately thereafter to determine whether deviations from accepted medical practice caused or substantially contributed to the infant’s injuries. We have successfully handled many types of birth injury claims including brachial plexus injury resulting in Erbs Palsy, birth asphyxia claims resulting in cerebral palsy, and other neurological injuries. To accomplish this, we gather all of the facts concerning the mother’s health and prenatal care, the labor and delivery, and the care received after delivery. Only the most experienced attorneys should handle these types of complex claims, and at Dreyer Boyajian LLP, we have that experience. We then work with a team of vocational and rehabilitation experts whose job is to provide plans and recommendations for future care so that the full scope of damages can be properly viewed in the context of litigation which will be commenced and concluded well prior to the child’s development.
