Shoulder dystocia is a delivery emergency that requires immediate, skilled medical intervention. When doctors or hospital staff fail to properly anticipate risk factors, delay appropriate action, or use excessive force during delivery, the consequences for a child and family can be devastating.

At Cooper Schall & Levy, P.C., we represent families whose children suffered permanent injuries due to negligent management of shoulder dystocia. Our firm has decades of experience handling complex medical malpractice and birth injury cases, and we are committed to holding healthcare providers accountable when preventable mistakes cause lifelong harm.
