Carmel, Indiana, Brain Injury Attorney
Electronic fetal monitoring allows obstetricians and other medical professionals to view the baby's heart rate. The fetal monitoring strip is strapped to the mother's abdomen during labor. It is a vital part of the labor and delivery process. With the information provided in the fetal monitoring strip, the obstetrician can determine whether the baby is in distress and take appropriate action. Usually, children in distress during labor are delivered via cesarean section or C-section. When those in the delivery room fail to utilize this information, a baby may go too long without receiving proper amounts of oxygen. This condition, known as fetal hypoxia, can lead to profound brain damage, cerebral palsy, or a host of other unfortunate conditions.
If your child was severely harmed in labor or delivery, your child may have a medical malpractice claim. With offices in Indianapolis and Muncie, Jacobs Law LLC has the experience and resources necessary to help your child get the resources he or she needs to live the fullest possible life.
Investigating Birth Injuries to Find the Causes of Negligence
Fetal monitoring strips provide a wealth of information to medical professionals. When children suffer brain damage at birth, it is often the result of the obstetrician's failure to act decisively. When obstetricians needlessly delay delivering the child via C-section, severe harm can be the result. Our lawyers will look closely at the evidence, including the fetal monitoring strip, to see whether or not the obstetrician acted negligently. If there is evidence of malpractice, we will act accordingly.
If your child has suffered severe brain injuries at birth, he or she will need extensive resources to provide for his or her care. Our Indianapolis fetal monitoring strips attorneys will work with professionals in order to prove exactly what your child will need. Whether your child's claim is resolved in settlement or trial, you can take heart knowing that our law firm understands what is at stake. We will devote all of our efforts to help your child obtain what he or she needs.

We hope you enjoy your stay in Indianapolis for the 2012 Super Bowl. While you visit our city, there will be LOTS to do and see -- but -- please be careful! Accidents can happen at the most unexpected times and places. Car accidents caused by drunk drivers (or drivers who disobey Indiana's law against texting while driving!), trips or slip and fall accidents in hotels, bars, and restaurants--- are just a few of the unfortunate accidents that can occur at any time, and personal injury risks go up whenever you throw alcohol into the mix! Wherever there are big crowds, people can get injured. The attorneys at Jacobs Law LLC have represented many out-of-state visitors to our city, and have handled cases involving some of Indiana's biggest venues, including Conseco Fieldhouse (now Bankers Life Fieldhouse), the Indiana Convention Center, Verizon Wireless Music Center (now Klipsch Music Center), and the Pepsi Coliseum. If you receive injuries because of someone else's carelessness during your stay in our city, we'd like to help. We wish you a safe and fun-filled Super Bowl experience, and we will be here for you if the unexpected happens.
