Experienced Birth Injury Lawyer In New York Victims of Medical Negligence
According to the National Healthcare Quality Report (AHQR), out of every 1,000 infants born in the United States, 6 to 8 of them are born with some type of birth injury. In other words, approximately 1 in every 9,714 people is born with a birth injury in the U.S. To break it down even further, 28,000 people per year are born with a birth injury. Birth injuries are most common during deliveries that involve an instrument. Although not every birth injury occurs as a result of the negligence of a medical or healthcare professional, those that are enable the victim to seek compensation for their injuries.
If you or a loved one suffered a birth injury as the result of the negligence of a medical or healthcare professional, you may be entitled to compensation. These cases are complex and should only be handled by a law firm that specifically handles such medical malpractice claims. At Gersowitz Libo & Korek, P.C., our legal team has more than three decades of experience in handling all types of medical malpractice claims, especially birth injuries.
Birth-related medical malpractice occurs when a medical or healthcare professional fails to comply with the applicable standard of care while treating a pregnant woman and her child or treating potential parents for issues relating to procreation. There are three basic areas of birth-related medical malpractice: 1) injury to the mother and/or child during pregnancy or labor; 2) wrongful death; and 3) wrongful pregnancy.
Some common examples of mistakes or errors made by healthcare professionals that result in a birth injury include:
If you believe that your child suffers signs related to a birth injury, you should consult with an attorney who can provide you with more guidance as to whether you have a viable medical malpractice. The seasoned birth injury attorneys at Gersowitz Libo & Korek, P.C. have the experience to help you determine whether you have a valid claim and help you obtain the full extent of the compensation you deserve.
Birth injuries often occur when the infant is deprived of oxygen, causing brain damage. If a healthcare provider does not promptly deliver a baby who is in distress, or if a baby is not properly resuscitated after being born, there is a possibility that the resulting lack of oxygen will cause serious brain damage. Babies can also be injured when they are improperly delivered, or when they are not properly oxygenated during surgery.
Some common types of birth related injuries caused by medical malpractice include:
In pursuing a medical malpractice claim, especially one that involves the delicate issue of birth injuries, it is important to hire an attorney with the knowledge and experience needed to help you get the best settlement possible so that you will have the money and resources to give the highest quality of care possible to your child.

I can't possibly say enough good things about my experience with this law firm. It's difficult to imagine going through this trial without Gersowitz, Libo, & Korek and in particular, Jeff Korek. Articulate, intelligent, kind, and direct were my first impressions of him and until I saw him in the courtroom, I had no idea that these qualities would make him unstoppable at trial. In a lawsuit that spanned almost 7 years, I put myself in his hands and wouldn't hesitate to do it again. Difficult at times but Jeff and his team were sensitive to those difficulties and made me understand that they would help and protect me during the process. I came to trust them implicitly. Jeff and his team not only secured my ability to pay for future medical treatments and chemotherapy, but he made sure that my children's future was secure. At Gersowitz, Libo, & Korek, they fight for you like you're family and treat you as such. Thank you, Jeff, for fighting for my future and helping me stay in the fight with you! I hope this day never comes but I wouldn't hesitate to ask for your help again.
So many times I wanted to quick and Jeff guided me on the right path. Answered all my questions, always there when I had a concerned regarding the case. Very smart and knowledgeable. I would recommend his services. I appreciate all your help. My financial future is secure for my family and I thanks to you guys.
Words alone cannot express our utmost gratitude at the comprehensive handling of my family’s case. This was a long, drawn out case that took quite some time to come to judgment. Jeff and his team were very thorough and relentless in their pursuit of justice for our family. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a lawyer.
Jeff Korek has been outstanding in accomplishing a settlement of my lawsuit. He has done everything that a client would ask of his lawyer. He and his staff have always been honest, informative,and trust worthy . His reputation as a lawyer who gets the job done has truly been earned. For a personal injury lawyer I would recommend Jeff Korek without any doubt's
