Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) is a severe and potentially life-threatening condition that can occur when a baby’s circulatory system fails to adapt properly after birth. In many cases, PPHN results from medical negligence during delivery or in the immediate postnatal period. If your child suffered this condition because of a health care provider’s mistakes, you may have legal grounds to pursue financial recovery.

Our firm is recognized as one of the top three medical malpractice law firms in the state, and our attorneys can investigate your child’s condition, work with medical experts, and help you hold negligent providers accountable.
