Examples of Birth Injuries
Birth injuries run the spectrum of severity and type. Some will heal in the first few months after birth, while others may be permanent, requiring lifelong care. In either case, many birth injuries result from the treating doctor's failure to respond to or assess the conditions and complications of a woman's pregnancy or delivery. Some examples of birth injuries are:
- Oxygen deprivation
- Erb's palsy
- Cerebral palsy due to medical negligence
- Injuries from high-risk deliveries
- Brachial plexus injury
These are but a few of the types of injuries that may be caused by the negligence of the treating physician or other members of the delivery team. In some cases, it may be possible to recover compensation from the hospital or health care facility itself. A consultation with one of our medical malpractice lawyers can help you determine your options.
We Can Also Recover for Injuries Suffered by Children
Children always seem to be injuring themselves one way or another. While minor scrapes and bruises are part of growing up, children sometimes are severely injured, often due to the negligence of an adult or another child. We can help you get compensation for all manner of serious childhood injuries, including:
- Car accidents
- School injuries
- Dog bites
- Assault
- Burns
If your child has suffered a serious injury due to the negligence of another person, our experienced attorneys may be able to get you compensation for your losses.
