Helping You Pursue Justice for Vacuum Extraction and Forceps Delivery Injuries
Sometimes doctors use vacuum extraction and/or forceps to help deliver babies. When used appropriately, these medical tools play a crucial role. Unfortunately, babies can suffer severe, life-long brain traumas due to complications with or negligent use of vacuums or forceps.

Expert Testimony
My Houston law firm understands the importance of expert medical testimony. Your child's severe birth injury could create a lifetime of medical complications, any number of which may cause death. Depending on your situation, I can consult with specialists to help measure your child's impairment, evaluate future medical needs and assess other financial consequences.
