Birth Injuries from Kaiser Permanente Health Care Provider Malpractice

Children who have sustained birth injuries during delivery at Kaiser, or through the actions of Kaiser Permanente  physicians, require representation by lawyers familiar with Kaiser obstetrical negligence.

At the law firm of Walkup, Melodia, Kelly & Schoenberger, in San Francisco, California, we have significant experience representing Kaiser members whose infants have suffered injuries during delivery. We have successfully represented parents of infants with cerebral palsy, quadriplegia, brain damage, blindness, undiagnosed birth defects and Erb’s palsy, brought on by the negligence, carelessness or malpractice of a Kaiser Permanente health care provider. We have successfully represented Kaiser members since 1978. We handle more Kaiser Permanente claims than any other law firm of similar size.

If you are a Kaiser member, you may not be aware that your legal options are limited if your child suffers a birth injury under the care of a Kaiser Permanente health care provider or in a Kaiser Permanente Hospital. Kaiser Permanente includes provisions in all of its group health insurance policies prohibiting you from filing a lawsuit in court and limiting your remedy for a medical malpractice claim to arbitration. Statistics show that individuals who represent themselves in these proceedings lose 75% of the time!

If you are a Kaiser Permanente member and have suffered a personal injury as the result of negligence or carelessness by one of your medical service providers, then you and your child need a law firm that understands the Kaiser Permanente system and has a history of successfully representing Kaiser members in Kaiser Permanente arbitration proceedings.

To learn more about our representation of birth injury victims and Kaiser Permanente, see our Birth Injury Information page.

We handle all Kaiser Permanente lawsuits on a contingency basis. You pay no legal fees unless we successfully recover compensation for your injury.

If your baby has suffered an injury or a disability as a result of negligence on the part of a Kaiser Permanente hospital and/or delivery room staff, contact us to schedule a free initial consultation.
