A birth injury can be avoided in some cases, if you keep your head during the birthing process. If you believe your care is inadequate, or that you're being ignored, don't be afraid to make your feelings known. You may be able to save your baby, and yourself, from needless pain and suffering.

The Internet is a great place to begin your search for a good birth injury attorney. Although many of their websites are little more than elaborate ads, they can usually offer more information about their states, education, and accreditations than they can in any other venue.

As with most court cases, your best strategy for a birth injury case is to gather as much information as you can. Get everything together before you even meet with a prospective attorney, and make sure you work closely with them every step of the way.
