What matters now
Focus on your child's care. Preserve the medical story.
Some injuries are apparent at birth. Others raise concerns later, as a child grows or misses developmental milestones. You do not need to determine on your own whether someone was negligent before contacting me. A careful review begins with the records and the right medical expertise.
Prioritize medical care and follow-up
Discuss concerns with your child's treating clinicians and seek appropriate specialist care. Keep track of diagnoses, recommendations, therapy appointments, and developmental concerns. If there is an immediate medical emergency, call 911.
Keep complete records, not just discharge papers
Preserve the records you have for the pregnancy, labor, delivery, and newborn hospitalization, along with later treatment and bills. Fetal monitoring strips, medication records, nursing notes, and delivery documentation may be important. I can help identify additional records needed for a meaningful review.
Speak with a Delaware attorney early
Medical negligence claims have filing deadlines and expert-review requirements. A child's age or a later diagnosis does not mean a family can safely wait. Contact me to review the specific circumstances before signing a release or assuming the time to act has passed.
