Common Birth Injury Cases
Regardless of the exact nature of how your child was harmed, our birth injury lawyer in New York, NY may be able to negotiate you a significant settlement. Legal action may be your best option to recover your child’s medical costs and other damages. Childbirth complications can result in a catastrophic injury or death. Here are some of the most common afflictions that a child can suffer as a result of medical negligence:
- Birth-related trauma such as a brain injury, spinal cord injury, or organ injury.
- Cerebral palsy. If your pediatrician or a member of their team fails to diagnose that your unborn baby has cerebral palsy, or knows but does not make the appropriate adjustments during the delivery, your baby could suffer damage to their brain. This can cause or worsen an existing cerebral palsy condition.
- Asphyxia. When a fetus does not receive sufficient oxygen, an asphyxia-related injury may result. Your pediatrician has the responsibility to determine if the umbilical cord has wrapped itself around your baby’s head, thus interfering with the oxygen flow. If the fetus is breaching (positioned sideways) during labor, this is another cause for concern and must be addressed immediately to ensure the safety of your child. Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy is but one of the injuries your unborn child may suffer as a result of not getting enough oxygen. Contact our birth injury lawyer in New York, NY if your baby was injured in this way.
- Brachial plexus palsy. If your unborn child was forcibly pulled or pushed during delivery, they may have suffered nerve damage in the brachial plexus.
