As a lifelong resident of Upstate, New York, Jeff DeFrancisco has earned a reputation of being a top attorney in his field of birth injuries and medical malpractice.

Attorney DeFrancisco has extensive experience helping children who needlessly suffered birth injuries. DeFrancisco is familiar with the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) guidelines which is the standard of care that obstetricians follow when it comes to the delivery of children.

When it comes to case evaluation, reviewing the prenatal records is important to determine if the mother should have been deemed a high-risk patient, if the child was appropriately monitored, and whether there were signs or symptoms of preeclampsia. The review of the hospital records is important to determine if there was adequate fetal heart rate monitoring and whether a C-section should have been timely performed. The neurological evaluation of the child at birth (APGARS), imaging studies, the cord blood gases, and/or the findings of strokes and/or seizures are important to help assess the etiology of the injuries. The diagnosis of fetal hypoxia, hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, acidosis, meconium aspiration, cerebral palsy, are conditions that are commonly seen when poor care was provided.

DeFrancisco's experts are all outside of the area to ensure objective evaluations. Some of his experts include: obstetricians, pediatric neuroradiologists, neonatologists, pediatric neurologists, cerebral palsy experts, life care planners, economists, and others.

If your child has a meritorious case, DeFrancisco will aggressively pursue their case to ensure your child receives the proper care, treatment, and compensation that they deserve.
