Obstetric Negligence Attorneys in Chicago
Holding Medical Professionals Accountable
Childbirth is an exciting and anxiety-filled experience that relies on a number of health care providers to monitor the health and medical needs of the mother and fetus. Depending on the type of labor, there may be obstetricians, doctors, nurses, midwives, and even anesthesiologists present to assist with labor and delivery. The role of the obstetric medical team is to diagnose and treat medical complications that occur during childbirth. Unfortunately, in some cases, an obstetrician may deviate from the appropriate standard of medical care, resulting in tragic consequences.
If a mother or child is injured or has died as a result of obstetric malpractice, the obstetrician may be liable in a medical malpractice lawsuit. At Cogan & Power, P.C., our Chicago obstetric malpractice lawyers understand the sadness and frustration that you are feeling if you suffered childbirth complications. In fact, one of our attorneys is a former obstetrical nurse whose medical experience and compassionate bedside manner inform her legal representation.
We are not only committed to protecting the rights of victims of obstetric negligence and other forms of medical malpractice, we seek through legal advocacy to prevent obstetrical negligence from happening in the future. As a result of our exemplary skill and experience, we have obtained a number of multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements in birth injury cases, including a record-breaking verdict in a birth injury case in which a baby suffered from cerebral palsy caused by the negligence of an obstetrical nurse who misread fetal heart monitor strips.
We are committed to fighting for our clients’ best interests. Contact us at (312) 477-2500 to begin with a free initial consultation.
Common Types of Obstetric Negligence
Obstetric negligence and malpractice occur any time that an obstetrician or other member of the childbirth medical team fails to provide the mother and child with the appropriate level of medical care.

"I can not speak highly enough"
I can not speak highly enough for the experience I have received from Cogan & Power Attorneys at Law. I was introduced to John Power through a mural friend. I was impressed from the very first phone call with John Power to us meeting through the pandemic. His professionalism and his medical knowledge is unbelievable… I have to say from that day moving forward John Power, Sara Davis and Kim Stefanek all put me at ease. My cases lasted just about 3 years and I was notified every step of the way on what was going forward and keeping me in the loop. John and Sara made sure that I was ready and comfortable for my Deposition, they made sure every stone was unturned! Kim Stefanek is one of their paralegals and she is awesome. I can go and I highly recommend Cogan & Power for your legal issues. John Power & Sara Davis are amazing attorneys and exceptional, caring, compassionate people!!
