In this May edition of Ask the Lawyer, Shelagh McGregor and Michael McVey from Weir Bowen LLP discuss preventable birth injuries and why many families don’t pursue legal action—even when they have a valid claim. She explains how certain medical conditions, like oxygen deprivation, hypoglycemia, and severe jaundice, can lead to lifelong challenges if not properly treated at birth. The conversation also covers emotional and informational barriers that delay legal action, the importance of expert opinions, and why it’s never too late to explore a claim.
If you suspect your child may have suffered a preventable birth injury, visit BILA.ca or call Weir Bowen at 780-424-2030 for a consultation.
Ask the Lawyer is heard the last Saturday of the Month on CFWE North & CWJE South in Alberta, Canada. For more information visit www.weirbowen.com & cfweradio.ca
