When Something Goes Wrong During Childbirth
You dreamed of a healthy baby. A joyful birth. A normal future. Instead, you sit in a hospital room or at home feeling lost. Scared. Angry. Wondering if this could have been prevented. Van Wey & Metzler takes cases exactly like this, but only the most severe ones. We do not take:
- Minor injuries or temporary complications
- Cases where no clear mistake was made
- Birth defects not caused by medical error
We only take cases where:
- Your child faces permanent, lifelong harm
- A medical professional clearly failed to act correctly
- The injury happened during pregnancy, labor, or delivery
If your child will recover fully or needs only short-term treatment, Van Wey & Metzler is not the right firm for you. We say this to be honest, not cold. You deserve to spend your energy on the right help.
But if your child will never live independently, and if the future you planned is gone — then you need answers. And you need accountability.
We are here for that family.

Time Matters in Birth Injury Cases
Birth injury cases are governed by strict legal deadlines that vary by state. When medical negligence during pregnancy, labor, or delivery causes harm to a child, families often face overwhelming medical, emotional, and financial challenges. Waiting too long to seek legal guidance can permanently affect your ability to pursue accountability and secure the resources your child may need for long-term care.
If you have concerns about complications during childbirth or believe a preventable medical mistake may have caused your child’s injury, the safest step is to speak with an experienced birth injury attorney as soon as possible. Early investigation can help preserve critical medical records, identify what went wrong, and protect your family’s legal rights.
