Improper Use of Vacuum During Delivery
Talk to Our Attorneys About Your Case Today!
Vacuum extraction is one method doctors use to help deliver babies during a difficult birth. During a contraction, a doctor will apply a soft or hard cup to the top and back of a baby’s head. These along with suction can be used to help pull the baby through the birth canal. However, this tool and other birth-assisting tools have been used for decades and have been linked to many medical issues. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has even warned using a vacuum extractor can unnecessarily risk the infant’s health.
If you or your child were harmed by the improper use of a vacuum during delivery, talk to one of our skilled Weston vacuum delivery injury attorneys as soon as possible. Rash Mueller is dedicated to helping the victims of negligence and carelessness seek justice and compensation for their injuries.

"I so appreciate their kindness, genuine compassion, and “got my back” attitude."From the first phone conversation with Lori, to the first time meeting with David and Jeff, all the way through and to the conclusion of my case, I felt as if these people truly cared about what happened to me. They didn’t just see a potential “case”. They were upset with my situation. They wanted to help. Through the years that this whole process takes, I have gotten to know them a bit better, and they have gotten to know me. I now consider them less “my legal team”, and more a part of my extended family, whether they realize it, or like it, or not. I so appreciate their kindness, genuine compassion, and “got my back” attitude. I hope you are never in a situation to need these folks, but if you ever are, I highly recommend talking to them and seeing if it’s a right fit for all.- Joel F.
