The Medical Edge: Arizona Birth Injury Representation
When you walk into a hospital in Phoenix to have a baby, you put your complete trust in the hands of the medical team. You expect them to follow the safety rules and keep your child safe. But when that trust is broken by negligence, the results can be devastating.If your child has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy, HIE (brain damage from lack of oxygen), or a nerve injury, you are likely feeling overwhelmed, angry, and confused. You probably have one burning question: Could this have been prevented?
At Cullan & Cullan, based here in Phoenix, we are uniquely qualified to answer that question. We are not just a law firm. We are a team of Doctor-Lawyers.
Why Your Lawyer Should Also Be a Doctor
In a typical birth injury lawsuit, the hospital will defend itself using complex medical terms and high-priced experts. They will try to confuse the jury and claim the injury "just happened."
To win against them, you need a legal team that knows medicine just as well as they do. That is where we come in. Because our partners hold degrees in both law (J.D.) and medicine (M.D.), we have a massive advantage over standard personal injury attorneys.
We don’t just practice law; we understand the science behind your child's injury.
- No "Middleman": Most lawyers have to hire outside doctors to tell them if a mistake was made. We don’t. We can review your medical records, fetal monitoring strips, and lab results ourselves. We spot the red flags that others miss.
- Understanding the "Why": We have studied anatomy and physiology. We know exactly how a delay in a C-section or improper use of forceps can damage a baby’s brain or nerves. We can explain this science clearly to a jury so they understand exactly how the doctor failed you.
- Engineering & Accident Reconstruction: Beyond medicine, our team also has training in engineering. This helps us prove how physical forces during delivery caused the trauma.
Fighting for Arizona Families
We represent families throughout the Valley and across Arizona who are facing a lifetime of unexpected challenges. We know that a birth injury doesn’t just hurt your child physically—it hurts your family financially. The cost of care for a child with special needs can be millions of dollars over a lifetime.
We use our dual background in law and medicine to fight for every dollar your child needs for:
- 24/7 nursing care and medical treatment.
- Specialized education and therapy (physical, occupational, speech).
- Adaptive equipment, like wheelchairs and communication devices.
- The loss of the future your child should have had.
We have a long history of securing record-setting verdicts and settlements because insurance companies know they cannot fool us with bad science. We know the truth, and we know how to prove it.
