When a child is injured at birth, the parents are often left with many unanswered questions. The doctors, nurses and hospital staff are saying one thing, but there is still some suspicion on the part of the family as to whether the birth injury could have been prevented. If your baby has suffered an injury, you need to find out if you have a claim against the medical provider.
Birth trauma can have many consequences – from temporary injuries that correct themselves to lifelong complications. A birth injury can lead to:
- Brain damage
- Cerebral palsy
- Erb’s palsy
- Shoulder dystocia
- Bone fractures
Doctor Negligence
While birth injuries are considered rare, they do happen and sometimes it is the doctor’s negligence that leads to the trauma. Doctors owe a certain responsibility to their patients, meaning they must provide what is considered reasonable care. Failing to do so could lead to a birth injury claim. For example, if a physician doesn’t monitor the baby properly or if he or she doesn’t take a crucial action in a timely manner, like performing a C-section, it could mean that malpractice occurred.
As a parent, you may be able to pursue a lawsuit on behalf of your child to recover damages. You may be able to recover compensation for such things as medical expenses, loss of enjoyment of life and other damages associated with the birth injury.
