Birth Injuries

Central Illinois Birth Injury Lawyer

No matter how it happens, a birth injury is an utterly devastating event. Parents have their hearts broken. Infants suffer lifelong, life-changing injuries or death. Doctors, nurses, and other medical staff are left struggling with questions of guilt and wondering what it was that they could or should have done differently. Sometimes the answer to their question is simply nothing. Sometimes the answer is something else.

Contact a birth injury lawyer at Shay & Associates for a knowledgeable and honest evaluation of your case.

A different kind of law firm…dedicated to serving you.

At Shay & Associates, we represent families in the Central Illinois region whose lives and children have been devastated by negligent or inattentive medical care. Our lawyers handle birth injury cases involving:

• Failure to diagnose fetal distress
• Failure to perform a C-section in a timely manner
• Hypoxic / anoxic birth injuries
• Cerebral palsy
• Shoulder dystocia (Erb's Palsy)
• Injuries to the mother

Our firm takes a team-based, client-centered approach to every case. In fact, we see the clients themselves as the most critical part of our entire team. Why? Because if we do not take the time to listen to our clients, to understand what has happened to them, and to know what their individual needs are, how can we possibly hope to convey that to a jury in any meaningful way.

Because of this, our attorneys will work and maintain direct communication with you from the very beginning of your case to its conclusion. In turn, we will help you to understand the law as it applies to your case and what your legal options are at each juncture. Our goal is to provide you with the information you need to make the best legal decisions you can concerning your case.
