When a baby is harmed due to medical complications during pregnancy, families are left searching for answers and accountability. Placental insufficiency is one of the more dangerous conditions that can threaten a baby’s oxygen and nutrient supply in the womb. If not diagnosed and treated in time, it can lead to brain damage, cerebral palsy, or even stillbirth.
In Michigan and beyond, families facing these situations often don’t know where to turn. Navigating a birth injury claim requires not just legal skill, but a deep understanding of obstetric care and medical negligence. Many law firms offer general personal injury services, but birth injury cases demand a different level of expertise.
That’s where ABC Law Centers comes in. With over two decades of exclusive focus on birth trauma cases, the firm brings unmatched experience, compassion, and success to families navigating the painful aftermath of preventable delivery complications.
Here’s how ABC Law Centers supports families in placental insufficiency cases and why their approach makes a difference.
A Law Firm Focused Solely on Birth Injury Cases
ABC Law Centers is not a general personal injury firm. Founded in 1997 by attorney Jesse Reiter, the firm is one of the only law practices in the country that works exclusively on birth injury cases. Their legal team has built a national reputation for helping children affected by conditions like cerebral palsy, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), and complications from placental disorders.
Placental insufficiency, when left undetected, can cause a baby to receive inadequate oxygen and nutrients. This can lead to fetal growth restriction or oxygen deprivation at birth. ABC Law Centers understands how these cases develop medically and legally.
They work with leading maternal-fetal medicine experts and neonatologists to investigate whether warning signs were ignored, ultrasounds misread, or fetal distress overlooked. Their team has decades of experience identifying medical errors related to placental function, which is key in proving negligence and fighting for justice.
In-Depth Investigation and Medical Knowledge
What makes ABC Law Centers different is their depth of knowledge. Their attorneys are skilled not just in law, but in interpreting complex medical records, fetal monitoring strips, and prenatal test results. They know how and when placental insufficiency should be diagnosed and the steps providers must take to manage it properly.
This attention to detail helps them uncover negligence that other firms may miss. In many cases, they find that doctors failed to monitor the baby’s growth patterns, ignored signs of fetal distress, or delayed necessary interventions like emergency C-sections.
With the support of medical experts and life care planners, ABC Law Centers builds strong cases that reflect the true scope of a child’s lifelong needs. Their legal strategy is always rooted in compassion and evidence.
Personalized Legal Support for Families
Facing a birth injury is overwhelming. ABC Law Centers is known for their personal approach to every case. Families work directly with experienced attorneys who guide them through each legal step with patience and care. The firm also helps clients access support beyond the courtroom, including therapy resources, medical referrals, and long-term planning advice.
Founder Jesse Reiter continues to lead the firm with a hands-on role in every case. He has earned national recognition for his birth injury work and has served in leadership roles in legal associations focused on birth trauma litigation. For families navigating the emotional and financial toll of a placental insufficiency diagnosis, this level of involvement provides confidence and clarity.
Proven Results and National Recognition
Though based in Michigan, ABC Law Centers handles cases nationwide. Their attorneys are licensed in multiple states and collaborate with local counsel when needed. The firm has secured numerous multimillion-dollar settlements and verdicts for families affected by negligent prenatal and delivery care.
Their success is matched by recognition in the legal field. ABC Law Centers and its attorneys have been featured in U.S. News & World Report, Best Lawyers, Super Lawyers, and more. But what truly sets them apart is their relentless commitment to helping children and families build a stable future after medical harm.
