Cleveland, Ohio, Attorney: Birth Injury and Cerebral Palsy
Even with all the tools of modern medicine, childbirth remains a potentially dangerous time. Some birth injuries are unavoidable. But others are the result of medical malpractice and errors made during delivery that cause a lack of oxygen to the baby. If your family has suffered as a result of medical malpractice or negligence during delivery, our attorneys at Linton & Hirshman will aggressively assert your rights to recover the compensation you and your child deserve.
Attorney Ellen Hirshman is uniquely situated in Cleveland to handle serious injuries to women. One of the first women in Ohio to be offered partnership at Ohio's then largest malpractice defense firm, she has chosen to dedicate her talents to helping clients pursue appropriate compensation in a wide variety of injury cases, especially those involving women.
