Neonatal and Childhood Injuries

Baton Rouge Neonatal and Childhood Injury Attorneys

A neonatal injury can cause a lifelong medical issue that does not necessarily shorten a life span, but may instead cause the need for unbearably expensive lifelong medical care, treatment, and other financial compensation. At Dodson & Hooks, APLC, we are firm believers that a child’s life is not worth less than a wage-earning adult’s but may be worth more because of the child’s added years of life. An injured 60-year-old may have 20 years to live with the need for medical treatment. An injured child may need medical treatment for three times that long. A birth injury may cause brain damage, cerebral palsy or other lifelong conditions. A neonatal or birth injury is an emotional issue for all involved. Our lawyers at Dodson & Hooks, APLC have the compassion, experience, and resources to seek settlements or bring these cases to trial, appeal and the United States Supreme Court, if necessary. We have an on-staff physician available for client assistance and for a free case analysis if needed.
