Defending Families After Birth Injury
The Skolnick Weiser Law Firm: Protecting Your Child’s Future
A preventable birth injury is not just a medical complication—it is a life-altering injustice. The Skolnick Weiser Law Firm stands as a fierce advocate for families whose children have suffered harm due to medical negligence before, during, or shortly after birth. When medical providers fail to act appropriately, we act decisively to protect your child’s rights and future.
We understand that birth injuries often result from failures that should never occur, including inadequate fetal monitoring, delayed emergency intervention, or improper delivery techniques. These errors can leave children facing lifelong challenges such as cerebral palsy, brain damage from oxygen deprivation, nerve injuries, and permanent developmental impairments.
Our firm does not accept these outcomes as unavoidable. We fight to hold negligent hospitals, physicians, and healthcare systems accountable when their actions—or inaction—cause irreversible harm.
