It is estimated that some 27 out of every 1000 births in the United States result in a birth injury. Common birth injuries include cerebral palsy, paralysis, brain damage, Erb's palsy, and brachial plexus injuries. Birth injuries cause untold pain and anguish to family members. Birth injuries can also impair a child for life, thereby making him or her dependent on others.
All too often birth injuries result from negligence on the part of medical professionals. Complications during pregnancy can be improperly diagnosed or overlooked. During labor, conditions can rapidly change, requiring quick but informed decisions to be made by medical providers. If at any point a healthcare professional fails to adhere to established professional standards, damages may be recoverable under medical malpractice laws. It is imperative to consult a lawyer so that she or he can help evaluate the potential legal options available and ensure that your child or loved one is receiving appropriate care. We have an extensive network of doctors and nurses with whom we consult on these complex issues.
