Severe and permanent injuries can occur during the birthing process. Most injuries are preventable with the proper medical care. Treatment for any birth injury will be expensive and most likely last for the rest of your child's natural life.
Birth complications may arise from failure to properly date the pregnancy, failure to properly treat prenatal infections, improper prenatal care or medical mistakes during childbirth. Birth complications may also be caused by medical malpractice. Medical negligence in handling birth complications may cause permanent brain damage where a baby is deprived from oxygen, or permanent nerve damage in the neck and arm, such as Erb's Palsy.
Medical Malpractice from birth complications occurs when a physician or other health care provider fails to do something for you or your child that other reasonably prudent providers would have done under the circumstances.
Individuals suffering from birth complications or birth injuries caused by the negligence of a doctor or hospital may be entitled to monetary compensation. If you or your child has suffered birth complications or injuries, you should contact The Law Firm of Alexander D. Crecca, PC immediately.
