Birth injuries caused by medical negligence can have lifelong consequences for children and families across Shreveport and Caddo Parish. Ochsner LSU Health Shreveport, Willis-Knighton Women's Health, and Christus Health serve the delivery and pediatric needs of families across the region. When those deliveries go wrong because of medical negligence, families are often dismissed and told complications were unavoidable. Louisiana's 1-year deadline and mandatory Medical Review Panel process make starting immediately essential. Future medical care costs are not subject to the $500K cap — meaning lifetime treatment and support costs can be fully recovered. TopDog fights to get every dollar your child deserves.
