Birth Injury Liability

Though childbirth is generally a safe process, serious and even fatal injuries can occur when a physician, nurse, midwife, anesthesiologist, obstetrician or hospital fail to provide appropriate care during the labor and delivery. Birth injury can also occur in the pre- or postnatal period.

When catastrophic birth injury occurs, parents are very suddenly put in a position they never imagined, requiring considerations they may never have dreamed necessary. In these situations, parents must consider how they can assure that their child will receive the medical attention necessary to help him or her reach their full potential. They must consider who will be there to take care of their child’s needs, after the parents pass away.

When a birth injury occurs, it is imperative that you contact an experienced birth injuries attorney immediately. A birth-related medical mistake can mean multiple surgeries, recurring medical conditions, and a lifetime of attendant care, among other issues.

The care required to in dealing with the effects of a birth injury can cost hundreds of thousands—sometimes even millions—of dollars. The wrong response in a medical situation, or a momentary lack of attention, can result in injuries that last a lifetime.
