Birth Injuries Resulting from Negligence Are Heartbreaking
A child's birth is an event to celebrate. But when trauma or birth injuries happen as a result of negligence and careless medical attention, you and your family need someone on your side to get the justice you deserve.
Birth injuries are various injuries that harm an infant or mother before, during or directly after delivery. Injuries such as Erb's Palsy and Cerebral Palsy can last a lifetime and significantly impact the infant's quality of life.
While some injuries occur during natural childbirth, others may be due to medical malpractice. It's important to be aware of signs of birth injuries. An infant who is not nursing properly or is developing seizures within 24 to 48 hours after birth may indicate birth injuries.
