Providing Medical Insight and Legal Support During Your Difficult Ordeal
Childbirth is supposed to be a joyous occasion. But an unexpected birth injury can cause emotional, physical and financial hardships for you and your child. If you or your child suffered severe birth injuries, you deserve not only compensation, but also a clear explanation of what happened.
As a lawyer who is also a board-certified Obstetrician/Gynecologist (OB/GYN), I can evaluate the medical care you received to assess liability. I have more than 20 years of medical experience in Houston focused on pregnancy, childbirth and women's health. My law firm is dedicated to helping you receive just compensation that addresses your child's long-term medical needs.
Timing Is Critical
Texas law has strict guidelines and statutes of limitations regarding birth injury claims. If your child suffered severe birth injuries, do not assume that you have plenty of time to start legal action. Consult with an attorney as soon as possible to help safeguard your child's future.
Intensive Investigation
My Harris County firm, the Law Office of Steven R. Edmondson, is ready to investigate your birth injury case. As an OB/GYN, I understand the risks of childbirth, as well as the consequences of medical negligence. I will evaluate medical records and hospital procedures to help you determine what went wrong during delivery.
I also work with other medical specialists to help prove liability. The testimony of medical specialists can help illustrate your child's injuries and future needs. Their insights can also help us assemble and explain evidence of medical malpractice.
Versatile Legal Support
I hold a Masters in Health Law, which helps me understand associated issues involving hospital procedures and administration. My understanding of the administration of medical services also helps me during negotiations and at trial. I can provide an informed opinion as to whether a settlement offer is in your best interest.
Broad Range of Injuries

- Vacuum and forceps traumas
