When a joyful moment turns into a lifetime of hardship, you need more than just answers—you need advocates who care and attorneys who deliver. At Van Wey & Metzler, we stand with Chicago families devastated by preventable birth injuries, providing the legal firepower, medical insight, and compassionate guidance needed to fight for your child’s future.
Childbirth should mark the beginning of a beautiful journey—not a legal battle. But when doctors, nurses, or hospital staff in Chicago fail to provide appropriate care during pregnancy, labor, or delivery, the consequences can be catastrophic.
Birth injuries caused by medical mistakes can result in permanent disabilities, delayed development, or even loss of life. When this happens, we’re here to demand accountability and pursue justice—so your child has the best chance at a better future.
Van Wey & Metzler is a nationally recognized law firm with decades of experience in complex birth injury litigation. We handle only catastrophic cases, and our results speak for themselves.
Sometimes parents aren’t told the truth. If your baby experienced complications at birth and you’re not getting straight answers, trust your instincts.
If any of these apply, our legal team can help investigate whether your child’s condition was caused by preventable medical negligence.
A serious birth injury changes every aspect of a family’s life. From immediate surgeries to long-term therapy, adaptive equipment, and educational support, the financial toll can reach millions over a lifetime.
We work with leading economists, physicians, and life-care planners to calculate your child’s full needs—today, tomorrow, and for life.
We offer free, confidential consultations to help answer these questions—and many more. If we take your case, we’ll handle everything so you can focus on your family.
In Illinois, you generally have two years from the time of injury—or from when you reasonably should have discovered it—to file a malpractice claim. However, in cases involving infants or minors, the time window may be extended.
If a preventable medical mistake changed your child’s life, Van Wey & Metzler is ready to help. Let us be your strength when you need it most. Our Chicago birth injury attorneys are here to fight for justice—and your child’s brighter future.
When you become our client, you become part of the Van Wey & Metzler family, and you receive responsive communication and support throughout your case.
We represent clients from all across the United States. If you or a loved one has been injured by medical negligence of a healthcare provider or facility, contact us now for a free consultation.
