Managing attorney John C. Hensley, Jr. has devoted years to protecting the legal rights and interests of children who have suffered a birth injury, and their families. When obstetrical negligence (medical malpractice during birth or in the prenatal period) and birth injuries plague parents and their children, the conditions are often lifelong and debilitating. These injuries, especially when caused by negligence or inattention, often cause rippling effects that can put an excessive and unbearable strain on a family.
