You definitely should consult with an attorney in the Dallas area, as soon as possible. Look up "Medical Malpractice" lawyers in Dallas on AVVO and there are several highly-qualified ones listed there.

We handle cases like this in Georgia, but you will be better served by contacting a lawyer in the city where this event occurred.''

I have a daughter myself who suffered severe brain damage 18 years ago. I wish you and yours the very best.

With your child in NICU, I know that everything is very hard for you. But your instincts are right. You need to speak with an attorney right away. Today is not too soon.

I will send you an email privately, as well.

Respectfully,

You definitely need to speak to an attorney in your area as soon as possible. You want to make sure the Fetal Heart Monitor Strips are preserved. I suggest looking on this site as well as the American Association for Justice or the National Board of Trial Advocacy. The American Association for Justice has a group of attorneys throughout the country involved with Traumatic Birth Injuries.

Yes, you can blame the doctor for this. As a new father, it absolutely breaks my heart to read your story. You should absolutely explore filing a lawsuit with an experienced medical malpractice lawyer. I'm very sorry for what happened to you.

We would have to review your medical records and reports before we can discuss the matter intelligently. You should consult with a lawyer about the case sooner rather than later. Your lawyer would get the reports, review them with you and then let you know if there is a case.
