Many birth injuries result from overly forceful or careless delivery decisions made by attending doctors during childbirth. These poor decisions could lead to…
Establishing negligence will require medical records to be studied by an expert in birth injuries, and our law firm can contact medical authorities to review your child’s case.
Eyewitnesses to the birth, such as the father or other relatives in the delivery room, can also be helpful in describing what the delivering physician did during childbirth, helping to determine if their actions were negligent or overly forceful. Your birth injury attorney will reach out to the hospital for medical records and can also work with family doctors to help establish the cause of the injury.
The damages your family may be entitled to include damages for medical bills, as well as custodial care and rehabilitative care for your child (such as pediatric physical therapy). This includes not only past expenses but ongoing and future treatment related to your child’s injury. Damages for pain and suffering and the emotional toll the injury has had on your family can also be recovered.
