What Can An Attorney Do For A Birth Injury Case?

The most important thing to recognize is that the full cost of a birth injury may not be readily apparent. In some cases, a birth injury can be fixed with a follow-up medical procedure with no long-term complications. However, in cases where a birth injury resulted in a lack of oxygen to a child’s brain or when there is severe bodily damage, there may be lifelong complications. This can result in tremendous lifelong costs to families.

Your attorney will:

• Arrange for medical experts to testify on your behalf.
• Ensure your child is properly examined by an independent medical provider.
• Have all of your child’s medical records examined.
• Work to calculate the current and future costs of care that will be necessary.

What Are Birth Injuries?

Any pregnancy can experience complications. However, some complications and injuries are the fault of a medical professional. Some of the common injuries that can happen to a baby in childbirth include:

• bone fractures
• meconium aspiration
• fetal oxygen deprivation
• brain bleeds
• nerve damage
• and more

A common birth injury that causes lifelong disabilities is called cerebral palsy. This condition causes impaired muscle coordination and other disabilities caused by damage to a baby’s brain before, during, or after birth.

These injuries can occur due to the techniques used by a medical professional, such as the misuse of forceps or a vacuum device. Other times, a medical team may fail to recognize mother or fetal distress and not perform a C-section when one is indicated.
