Birth injuries

Black women in the United States experience unacceptably poor maternal health outcomes, including disproportionately high rates of death related to pregnancy or childbirth. Both societal and health system factors contribute to high rates of poor health outcomes and maternal mortality for Black women, who are more likely to experience barriers to obtaining quality care and often face racial discrimination. Black women more likely to experience a pregnancy-related death than white women.

We have heard of stories of even famous women like Serena Williams having their health concerns ignored. One very sad story is featured here discusses the death of Judge Belinda Hatchett’s daughter in law. These stories are all too similar and happen too frequently in our community.  Have you been the victim of poor or negligent care before during or after child-birth? Please contact our legal team today so we can fight to get justice for you and your child.
